Vardagen - hopplöst tråkig, trist och enahanda? Eller magisk, förvirrande och ljuvlig? Våra liv har i alla fall en hel del av just vardag, och såklart finns det en hel massa böcker som handlar om just detta ämne. I detta avsnittet tipsar Amina, Meriam och Martin om följande böcker: "Ingenting och allting" av Nicola Yoon "Fangirl" av Rainbow Rowell "Eliza och hennes monster" av Francesca Zappia "Sagoberättaren" av Antonia Michaelis "Tusen strålande solar" av Khaled Hosseini "Livet på en kylskåpsdörr" av Alice Kuipers

In episode 53, Heather and Bennett discuss the novel Made You Up by Francesca Zappia and the Boots Riley film Sorry To Bother You.

Our friend Chelsea is back as we discuss a book she recommended to us: Francesca Zappia's Eliza & Her Monsters.
