Old Blues Chapter and Verse | 2666: Nearly Bagging a Mammoth, or Holding Misogyny Accountable @OldBluesChapterandVerse | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Thank you to the inestimably wonderful, spirited and wise Lukas from Totally Pretentious and Alex from bigalbooks (their channels are linked below) for hosting March of the Mammoths with me! No pressure at all, but I do hope you'll considering hosting duties again with me next year. I plan to read something with a little more plot and a little more pep. And a smaller body count. #marchingmammoths
