The Book Report with Allie and Rach

Allie and Rach•rss.com

We love talking about how stories interweave themselves into our lives and how we think about the world. Join us each week as we escape this bottomless pit of garbage here on Earth and chat through what we loved and hated about the books we read. It's like a book club...where we do all the talking.
