Episode 140 – Summer Reads and Book Inspiration

We’re slaying our reading goals, involved in book clubs, and listen to audiobooks, too! We’ve got lots of recommendations to spice up your summer reading list including recommendations from many genres of books: fiction, non-fiction, mystery/thriller, memoir/autobiography, self-help/self-care, and BRAD (beach read after dark, AKA romance or smut!!). Learn more about what books we loved and grow your TBR (to be read) list, while hopefully avoiding those DNFs (did not finish). Bookworms, unite!
