Episode 169 "Fall Reading Roundup, October Nominations"

We are back from a nice fall break. Peter went to the big apple and Matt stayed around, working on his sourdough starter. While we were away we both have been reading books on the side, and we begin this episode discussing some of our fall reading highlights.

And finally we end by picking an October book to read. Will we continue to pick a horror book or will we go another direction?

Thank you for listening and happy reading!
