Tasha not only knows the best books, but she knows how to entice readers into picking them up.
Such a great idea for a podcast.
I have just read The Librarian of Auschwitz and wanted to talk about it/listen to more discussion of it.
I will keep listening but so far my suggestion is that I would like to hear some more discussion of the text about the themes /ideas, characters etc and maybe connections to other texts (if any).
EXCELLENT resource for all kinds of readers!
