Episode 6: The Spitting Should be Censored from this Episode

Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk. This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. We share a few bookish confessions with each other, Beccah can't let a certain "spitting" scene go, somehow find common threads of both Jane Austen and retirement communities across our books, and we revisit some of our favorite reads from last year.  Books We Mentioned:  5:25- Passing, Nella Larson 10:45- Hot Hex Boyfriend, Carly Bloom 14:26- Lord of the Rings, J.R.R.
