TODAY 3pm EST/12pm PST Babble Book Club: Beauty Plus Pity by Kevin Chong
Hey all,
as already mentioned, we are reading Kevin Chong's Beauty Plus Pity as our next book club selection.
Exciting news (maybe predictable too?) Kevin has agreed to join us for a conversation about his book sometime in June, but being that he is such a great talent, his schedule is busy and a tad, 'up in the air'. Kevin is working on confirming a discussion date with us, but has to confirm some other previous engagements first, but he will join us!
