Episode 27: Left Turns, Challenge Wins + Bookish Pet Peeves

54 min • 25 februari 2019

Kaytee and Meredith are so excited to get back into our discussion this week that we have a hard time keeping our bookish opinions to ourselves.

You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of the hosts: meeting a book resolution and a happy abundance of book mail.

Next, we discuss our current reads. We have some very seriously large opinions about our books this week. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like for Meredith to get spicy, you’re in luck!

This episode was recorded on Valentine’s Day, so… since we had love on the brain, we took a left turn and went with a deep dive on things we “hate” about books!

As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) - but this week is a couple of great series - that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands: these books have been mentioned over and over again on the podcast, but due to some heinous oversight, we haven’t ever pressed them into your hands!

As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!
