The Book Jar Podcast

Sometimes, a happily ever after just isn't possible. This week, Megan and Marissa discuss their fave books that end in sadness and tragedy. From Romeo & Juliet to No One Is Talking About This, get ready to hear about the saddest stories that we loved reading. Please be warned that this episode does contain spoilers.

Facts We Get Wrong: 1) Leviathan Wakes is a novel written by two writers joined under the pen name James S.A. Corey. Marissa incorrectly states that this is one person, and also misses the S. initial. 
2) A copy of Vaslav Nijinksy's diary is available in full, without omissions previously made by his wife.
