Annotated
by Ashley
It's my firm belief that a book recommendation is a window into the soul of the reader who gives it. On my blog, Getting a Read, I write reviews of recommended books. My goal for each book is to learn something about the reader who gave it to me along the way. In this podcast, I invite my recommenders to a deeper conversation about the books they love. I also talk to authors, dig deep into bookish movies, and explore some of my own favorite books.
