Reading the NEWBERYs: A Team Friendship Podcast

In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite streaming and television series we have loved this year!

During the recording of our For the Love of Books and More episode, Lauren ran into some technical difficulties. Her computer crashed several times. Even though she was gone for a few minutes, Leah and Mandy kept talking. This bonus episode is their conversation in Lauren's absence. Enjoy!

In this episode of Reading the Newberys, we discuss the winner of the 1981 Newbery Medal Jacob Have I Loved by Katherine Paterson. Our discussion does get into some slightly mature themes (coming of age/sexual awakening), so use your own judgement if you are listening while little ears are present. We hope you enjoy this discussion of Katherine Paterson's second Newbery Medal winning book! (Age recommendation for this book: 13 and up)
