  • Episode 2: A Secret, A Few Murders and Some Girls with No Names

    Choosing your next book to read can be really hard! Especially when bookstores and libraries are closed so you can't spend hours walking the aisles to find the perfect book. On this episode I'm reviewing three books that I  read and letting you know if they might be a good distraction and how to find them during lockdown. I've also added a new segment where I  feature a Small (Bookish) Business each episode. This week I'm featuring Femme Fire Books where you can order pre-loved and have them safely delivered to you while you stay home and stay safe.
