Welcome to the "green room" for Alexa Loves Books, where spoilers abound and ships set sail (or crash and burn)! Macky & Alexa get together to chat about books, comics, TV shows, movies, anime and manga while drinking caffeine (most of the time, anyway). Basically, this is the podcast for you if you're interested in listening to two fandom enthusiasts break down their feels for the things that they love. We hope you enjoy the buzz!
