Pairs well with: Coffee pretending you’re listening to a podcast on your commute
The Night Swim was my August selection from Book of the Month and I think my favorite I’ve gotten so far. I LOVE a true crime podcast, so when I read the description I was immediately sold.
The story follows Rachel, a true crime podcaster who gained a huge following in her first two seasons. She decides for season three she’ll follow an ongoing case during the trial right from the courtroom. As she gets to the town to begin coverage she starts getting letters from a fan asking her to also look into her sisters murder. It’s a really interesting concept, you see both investigations, the court room as well as transcriptions of what the podcast episodes sound like and I really enjoyed it.
This is now my fifth month of Book of the Month and I really do love it. It gives me the opportunity to mix up what I’ve been reading and for $14.99 it’s worth it to try out new books. Most of them are also new releases so it’s fun getting to find out about them early. You can sign up through this link if you’re interested!
