Menace II Book Society

About Menace II Book Society

In 2021, JaLessa Shantel had been trying to convince Charisse to try audiobooks. She finally wore her down and now they buddy listen/read a wide range of books, mostly YA mystery/thriller and romance with a sprinkle of grown folk business. Join these friends bi-weekly as they discuss their recent reads, the books they read separately, and whatever else is on their minds. Please send any book recommendations and listener stories/questions to menace2booksociety@gmail.com. *DISCLAIMER* This is an explicit podcast. We are not literary experts & we talk a lot of shit.
