Episode 1- Introduction to Both Sides Book Club

Welcome to our first episode where we introduce our selves and announce your first book! Both Sides Book club is a podcast brought to you by Catie and Debbie Allen. Every two weeks we get together to chat about a different book. Reading good books is our passion, our escape and our solace. Through books, we experience different worlds and hear others voices as our own.
Books connect us, which is why we would love you to read with us and join the conversation. Happy Reading!

The first book we will be reading is: There was still love by Favel Parrett.
