Her favorite reads are usually literary fiction but she also enjoys engaging thrillers and nonfiction, with a few historical fiction and YA titles thrown in for an occasional break.  Support the Podcast Share - If you like the podcast, I'd love for you to share it with your reader friends…in real life and on social media (there's easy share buttons at the bottom of this post!).
