-
Bookish Moments: new bookshelves and Bookstores for Bob

Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately

Deep Dive: we are bossing our bookish friends into reading the next three books on their TBRs

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!
We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. If you’d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your laundry detergent, if you recently got obsessed with switching up your laundry game) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
