Meet your new book bestie. On the podcast, Yulani talks about books she's read, wants to read, liked and didn't like, book boyfriends, and her favorite quotes and moments in literature. If you ask her what she loves most in life - other than her books, local libraries, and used bookstores - she would probably say jazz music, mugs of coffee & tea, rocking chairs, vegetable gardens, crochet, and her grandparents. Most of all, she loves reading.
