We’re Ellie and Traci, two bookish friends who read in every spare minute that we have!  In this episode, we will talk about what we think you should literally buy your dad for Father’s Day.  **Please note that this episode was recorded and edited before the death of George Floyd and the demonstrations that followed. We want to talk about books and make you smile with our bookish banter, but that does not mean that we aren’t aware and concerned about what is happening in the world. Please bear with us as we try to reconcile with recording in advance and maintaining relevance and compassion with the ever-changing events currently happening.
