Books and Brunch
Amber and Noelle discuss a new book every week and share a uniquely tailored recipe inspired by their current read. Combining Amber's decade of radio hosting and production with Noelle's relatively underutilized English Lit. degree, they create a well-rounded conversation about their shared favorite activity: reading. Though Noelle prefers gothic horror while Amber enjoys historical romance, the two have joined forces to search out popular new(ish) books by relevant authors that check at least one of their boxes. Join the book club, have brunch, and add to the discussion.
