For this episode, I am joined by my friend, and former co-host: Loren Provins! We love all things bookish, and with two years between our last recording, we have a lot to catch up on. Join us as we rant about some popular dragon books, share our top-4 favorite books of all time, and dive into what we like and dislike about current book content culture. A reunion of the ages as I start a new era!
