Welcome to our podcast! We are two ex-school librarians staying in touch through the power of books.

We are back! And this year we are ready to read even more books! Before we start our new book club book, 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama. We catch you up on our Christmas reading!

This week we discuss:

• 'Goodnight Steve McQueen' by Louise Wener (3.34)
• 'Small Things Like These' by Claire Keegan (5.36)
• 'Purple Hearts' by Michael Grant (9.07)
• 'Paper Cup' by Karen Campbell (10.11)
• 'Big Girl Small Town' by Michelle Gallen (10.33)
• 'Lioness: My Journey to Glory' by Beth Mead (13.31)
• 'Open Water' by Caleb Azumah Nelson (17.31)
• 'Would You Rather' by Richard Herring (18.37)

We rate all our books: Return, Renew or Overdue. Let's hope we don’t get too many returns.

Head over to our instagram @LoungingWithBooks for great booky content. And let us know your Reading Goal for 2023. Till next week! Remember to read to page 50 of 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama! :D.
