We follow Cora and her co-workers on a blood-soaked quest as they try to simultaneously figure out how to exorcise her ghost, as well as solve a series of serial murders in NYC, all involving East Asian women.Books & Boba is a podcast dedicated to reading and featuring books by Asian and Asian American authorsSupport the Books & Boba Podcast by:<ul><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/booksandboba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Joining our Patreon to receive exclusive perks</a></li><li><a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/bookshop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Purchasing books at our bookshop</a></li><li><a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/merch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rocking our Books & Boba merch</a></li></ul> Follow our hosts:<ul><li>Reera Yoo (<a href="https://twitter.com/reeraboo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@reeraboo</a>)</li><li>Marvin Yueh (<a href="https://twitter.com/MarvinYueh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@marvinyueh</a>)</li></ul> Follow us:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/booksandboba/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/BooksandBoba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/197124-books-boba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goodreads</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/booksandboba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li></ul> The Books & Boba November 2025 book club pick is&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/taiwan-travelogue-a-novel-shuang-zi-yang/2cfb217dca24d0fb?ean=9781644453155&next=t&aid=11692&listref=book-club-picks-91552a56-f7a9-40f3-b303-66310685ac2e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Taiwan Travelogue</a> by Shuang-zi Yang, translated by Lin KingThis podcast is part of&nbsp;<a href="https://booksandboba.captivate.fm/potluck" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Potluck: An Asian American Podcast Collective</a>
