#304 - How Many Books Can We Fit In Our New Backpacks? 🎒

This episode spirals... we cover new backpacks, a trip to a new zoo, #bangslife, a bunch of book reviews, a new reading era, reality show memoirs, and somehow a whole tag! It's a big one!

The End of the Year Book Tag

1. Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish?

2. Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year?
3. Is there a new release you're still waiting for?
4. What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?
5. What trends have you noticed in your reading this year?
6. How do you feel about your reading goals? Anything you want to change, adjust, or abandon?
7. Have you already started making reading plans for next year?

#280 - Reading Confessions: Special Editions A Money Grab! 🦀

It's time to hear reading confessions, hot takes, and reader problems from our listeners! On this episode we have someone who hates the special edition boom, someone who doesn't like half star ratings, two people who are reading too many audiobooks (is that possible?), someone who is having an existential crisis about borrowing too many ebooks from the library, and a bookseller who is struggling to live her 84 Charing Cross Road dreams!
