061 The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Julia and Victoria are back to discuss The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion about an undiagnosed autistic man trying to navigate all the weird social rules of dating and relationships with a bunch of people who won’t explain anything. So for Julia, it was a comical reminder of her own journey not knowing how to make friends in college, and for Victoria, the book was a super fun love story and a good reminder on the importance of open and clear communication.
059 The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Grab your blue licorice, your celestial bronze swords, and your Ancient Greek dictionaries, because this week Julia and Victoria are diving into the 2005 young adult classic, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
