So many books, too little time? Us too! Join us, hosts Claire and Rebecca, as we chat to others whose lives revolve around books as well, share hot topics and discuss what it means to be a reader - and how to find more time to do it! Covering a range of genres, there will be something for everyone. As English teachers, moms and Bookstagrammers, we know what it is like for life to be busy, but we promise that for less than an hour every two weeks (with a special book of the month bonus ep each month too!), we can help you to keep the literary love alive!
