About this episode
Meredith and Kaytee are joined by a special guest co-host this week, Laura Tremaine. Laura is well-known across social media, and we think you'll love hearing from her. You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us: a great book club chat, a new reading experience, and an unexpected bookish connection with a group of kids. Next, we discuss our current reads. Since there are three of us, we kept it to two titles each, but they are two great book s from each host that are sure to have big opinions from the interwebs. For our deep dive, we're talking to Laura about her "social media journey" and her vision behind her newest podcast, 10 Things to Tell You. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to press into every reader's hands. This week's picks include a non-fiction book about eating, a historical fiction family saga, and a thriller that will chill you. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.
