  • All the Colors Ep

    I discovered this podcast after loving All the Colors of the Dark, which is the August pick. The episode is so detailed and I’m loving it, but right around 26:10, the audio seems to double so two recordings are being played over each other which unfortunately makes is unlistenable for a few minutes. The glitch is brief and gets on track, though! I’m so glad I stumbled upon this one and can’t wait for more bookclub picks!

  • Excited about Mondays again!

    Professional Book Girl is the best bookish podcast. I’m so happy Kayla is back with her books recommendations. It definitely motivates me to read outside of what I usually read and she never disappoints.
