A fascinating new book about why we love spilling the tea. We chat Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively, social media and gossip (DeuxMoi anyone?), and how gossip functions in Mean Girls.
I love Normal Gossip and I'm so excited for this book!! As for nonfiction reads, I just read Health and Safety and loved it. Definitely a niche read but a goodie if you're into learning more about techno and reliving the covid days.
I’m reading “Barbarians at the Gate” about the takeover of RJR Nabisco with some friends and we have a group chat called “cookie wars” which is delightful. The book is a classic for a reason and it’s epically long — we’re all listening on audible and it’s a whole day’s long! — which makes it feel like an accomplishment akin to reading the Power Broker. I love books like this — Liars Poker is one of my favorite books! — so finding this story of gossip, drama and financial engineering poorly handled by some rich dudes is so entertaining during this cold ghastly winter.
Love Normal Gossip and can’t wait to read this book!
Normal Gossip is my faaaavorite podcast

Love Normal Gossip!! My partner and I will listen together on walks and then dissect the story after. So excited to read Kelsey’s book
ooh, I like how it seems McKinney was both critical and supportive of gossip even in this short interview.

omg this sounds amazing hahaha.
Any book is amazing with friends
Such a fan of Kelsey's! I really look forward to reading this. I also recently enjoyed Jenny Slate's latest memoir "Lifeform"
I'm very into nonfiction at the moment and absolutely LOVED Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?, a memoir by Seamas O'Reilly. Highly recommend!!
I just finished Party of One which I loved including the references to Real Self-Care and The Other Significant Others which were also excellent.
Thanks for highlighting Kelsey McKinney's new book! Listening to Normal Gossip was a bright spot during some dark days of the pandemic.
I'm not even a Swiftie, but I was SO intrigued by all the Gaylor theories.
