Hi Listeners, just a quick reminder about our Patreon page: we gave everyone a free look in January - and everything is still available to view! We hope you decide to become a member to support our little podcast! Also, don't forget to sign up for our free newsletter!

This week we decided to celebrate the idea of Groundhog Day by rereading a couple of books from our 'tween' years. Amie selected Forever by Judy Blume - a book she had fond memories of - to see if the story still resonated as an adult. Tami chose Watership Down by Richard Adams - she had fond memories of this book making her a 'reader' in 7th grade.

We look into the idea of: Why re-read something? What is the attraction to rereading books, potentially, several times in a lifetime?

Here's a quick article from Barnes and Noble Reads listing 10 reasons to reread books.

Dr. B asked us what books made us readers in Episode 49 - check it out here if you haven't listened!
