a heartfelt narrative about trust, self-acceptance, and willpower, and I loved how it spoke to the powers of community and what is possible when women support other women. In fact, that’s where I first heard about Travis Baldree’s book, Legends & Lattes, and as a self-proclaimed coffee addict, fan of the fantastic, and lover of pastries, I had a suspicion this book was going to be right up my alley. I’ve discovered so many new-to-me authors on her show and the podcast has become one of my go-to favorites when it comes to keeping me company on my commute. I started listening regularly to Agatha’s show in late 2022/early 2023 and I’ve become such a fan because while her reads center around the gothic-I still need my daily dose of madness, hauntings, and gloom after all!-she also wants books that are cozy, have a happy ending, and on occasion, even include some romance to give her stories a dash of sweetness alongside their screams. However, there’s no denying that routine is a tall glass of heavy, so I’ve been trying to encourage myself lately to read some more lighthearted-albeit still spooky!-books to offset the often disturbing and terrifying narratives I’m digesting day-to-day. I love to be scared, I enjoy being challenged, and nothing makes me happier than a book that makes me feel uncomfortable, dirty, or even a little off. When it comes to reading preferences, my tastes tend to run a little dark.
