The Christmas Train by David Baldacci

Waddup, book nerds! Welcome to lucky season 7! In our first episode back, we read The Christmas Train by David Baldacci (months after the holiday season has already ended)! This NYT bestseller choo-chooed into our hearts in 2002 and then again in 2017 when the Hallmark Channel adapted it to a movie starring Dermot Mulroney, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Danny Glover and Joan Cusack! But WHY was it so popular? We break it apart to find out.

Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, College Humor, Impractical Jokers) who read, discuss and whine about NYT bestselling books that have questionable literary merit. It's fun. It's cathartic. It's perfect for your commute. New podcast (almost) every Tuesday!
