ReLIT: American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson

We return Thursday, May 18th. Until then, please enjoy listening to the best shows from our archives. Here's one we love - it's like a new, sleeker James Bond.
Who do you love? Who deserves your loyalty? And are the two one and the same? One young, brilliant, beautiful FBI officer is tasked with betraying her heart in devotion to her country. Her mission will take her from the high rises of New York to the roads of West Africa to the island of her motherland. Will she have what it takes when the time comes to pull the trigger, or will she find herself on the wrong side of the gun?
Before diving into our book, we'll learn the truth about a woman many know as Mary Bowser, a former enslaved person, and spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. (Psst! There will be a game, and Alexis WILL be put on the spot. Enjoy!
Our spy is Marie Mitchell.
The book is American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson.

ReLIT: Spare by Prince Harry

We return Thursday, May 18th. Until then, please enjoy listening to the best shows from our archives. Here's one we love, the first episode of season four - a royal riot!
Buy the book from our shop: https://bookshop.org/a/80860/9780593593806
An heir and a spare: One son, protected future king, and the other a dense, drug-using recluse, destined for failure – that is, if we are to believe the press. In the best-selling memoir of all time, a high-ranking member of the royal family gives us an inside look into the world he was born into and ultimately left for his sanity and health.
The spare: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex
