It's been a little bit, but we're back and ready to dive into all the latest bookish updates - from new and upcoming releases to the latest adaptation announcements! And we celebrate Christina's belated birthday by catching up on our latest reads, including a possible five star for Lauren! Then we dive right into our latest wheel spin pick, Percival Everett's satirical, searing novel, "The Trees." We discuss the importance of history, preserving accurate narratives, and how satire and fiction blend to tell a harrowing story that needs to be told. So grab a refreshing summer cocktail and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics!

**Hosts note: This episode covers heavy topics, so please listen with care.
