Hello Colorful Cast of Characters, welcome back to another week of CPBC, that's right ya'll after a quick hiatus, we are back with the first episode of our Summer Short Series!

For those who may or may not know our Summer Shorts is where CPBC diverges from its typical novels and  we read truly whatever we want, typically stories of a shorter variety or different medium.

And this week we will be reading the short story anthology Falling in Love with Hominids by Nalo Hopkinson.

So join Marci and Ako as they discuss connecting and disconnecting with human, a tea and/or ice cream shop that may or may not be in Brookyln, the magical realism inherent in existence and so much more
