What's up everyone? Thank you for tuning in to Lauren's Library Podcast. This podcast is a place for people to come and discuss all things books. Here in Lauren's Library everyone is welcome, but black women are especially celebrated. So come on in and get comfortable because we have a lot to talk about!

Segment 1: Authors Who Stalk Reviewers - A book reviewers worst nightmare: when Authors go after their reviewers when they don't like their ratings.

Segment 2: 4 Books that Changed My Life. I read a-lot. (duh) and I end up taking something from everything I read, but these four books changed my life. Let's talk about them.

New Drinking Game Alert: Take a shot for every time I say "anyway" in this episode.

Section 3: A short story written by Lauren Roach aka The Booky Babe called "Retribution" This story was inspired by a random Reddit thread I found one day. I put my own spin on it and here we are! Should I make it a full novel? Let me know!
