What happens when four local bookshops are all invited to sell books at the same event? In this episode, we discuss indie bookstore competition (and why we all compliment each other so well), our favorite books that have at times through history been banned, and which are our favorites.

We also talk about waiting to read certain books until you can appreciate them, what we think of the books we finished recently, and which titles we've decided to take with us on our upcoming trip.

For a complete list of books mentioned on the podcast, head over to our bookshelf dedicated to this podcast at Bookshop.org!
