from What You Should Read · host Kelly Hager, Julia Hall, Rachael Hall
Send a textHello and we are finally back! This week, we discuss Indigenous authors and the books you absolutely cannot miss. Sidebar topics include an update on our reading TBR challenge (suffice to say we are slightly behind), Christmas cookies (enjoy how smoothly Kelly was able to demand some) and how wonderful it is to be back together, taping the podcast. We also briefly discuss our upcoming Halloween episode, which one of us is VERY EXCITED FOR (Kelly. It's Kelly).(And don't forget our first book club is approaching! We're discussing The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult on the episode that drops December 8!
