Welcome to your new favorite literary podcast! Books and the City Podcast is hosted by four New York City-dwelling, book-nerd best friends who met for one Bookstagram book club, and the rest was history.

Every Monday, the hosts come prepared to discuss the last book they read, meaning you’ll walk away from each weekly episode with four new must-read titles! Pour yourself a glass of whatever, and meet your new favorite book club.

What Wellesley’s Reading – Wellesley Faculty

The books might be little-known literary gems, beloved classics, scenes from plays, recent provocative essays, poems, thought-provoking analyses of current social issues, biographies, or many other literary forms.
Take a few minutes to explore the books that captivate Wellesley faculty.
