Hey, You Should Read This

By The Girl in the Chair

Hey, You Should Read This is a fun, casual show where I give and take book recommendations from my friends and the internet. Covering a range of genres, it's good for times when you miss your old reading group or want a new opinion on that book you've been hearing about. Episodes upload every 2 weeks and transcripts are available at www.thegirlinthechair.com/podcast.
