Join me (Chloe) as I talk to Carrington. We discussed some general book opinions and a little bit about her job selling books at Barnes and Noble, before moving on to the wonderful world of bookstagram. Carrington also gave some shoutouts at the end to @aj_booksta and @blondebooksta on Instagram. This conversation is spoiler free for all books discussed. Also note that Carrington's Instagram handle at the time of recording was @ctonreads, but has since been changed.
Please be aware that since recording this episode, Carrington has cut ties with me. I noticed what I believe to be problematic behaviour, and she didn't want to listen when I tried to have a conversation with her about it. Obviously there are 2 sides to every story, but even though she chose to erase my voice, I won't remove hers, so listen at your own discretion.
