Season 2, Episode 37: Books that Become Movies, and Whether We Love or Hate Them

Today, Kaytee and Mindy are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: the COVID(eo) with kids recording and podcast messages during the coronavirus “situation”

• Current Reads: each of us shares three books we’ve been reading lately and there’s a bit of sass in here about the buddy read we recently did together

• Deep Dive: Books to movies… the good, the bad, and the ugly.

• Book Presses: we’ve got a favorite author who has been reading his books aloud on Facebook, as well as a bonus book to movie pick!

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!
