Books » Our lists » Shameless Book Club

Join the Shameless Book Club for recommendations and bookish discussions with bookworms (and The Space Between authors) Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews. At the end of each month the gals put together a bumper Shameless podcast episode to share their hot takes on the plot and announce the next book.
