Underrated books with Sarah Hartley

Eek, I did my very first Substack Live, y’all! When Sarah Hartley asked me to join her to talk about underrated books we’ve read recently, I was nervous, but I immediately said yes. Mostly because I miss her, and also because I’ve always wanted to try a Substack Live video. In case you’re new here, it’s time for a tiny bit of back story. Sarah and I started Reading Through Life years ago because we wanted to have a reason to talk to each other about books. Then, sadly, Sarah left us last year for other pursuits. But then Carrie Palumbo graciously said yes to joining as a co-host so I wouldn’t have to do this by myself! Anyway, I hope you enjoy our conversation and getting to see Sarah again for a brief visit.
