In this podcast episode, we discuss the books: Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty (very recently made into a mini-series) and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.

Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever?  These nine perfect strangers are about to find out...
Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.

In The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue it's France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

As always,  will either of these books make it onto the shelf? Or will it split the sand for these two hosts?
