Show notes:

Do you ever read a description for a book and get drawn to certain words? Words that make you want to immediately read the story without knowing much else about it? We get it because that happens to us all the time. Those sneaky book marketers know what they’re doing! In this episode, we share the buzzwords that light us up and also a few that turn us away.
