Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk. 

This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. Along the way, we wander into a lively chat about sentient objects and seeds (the plant kind – not the baby kind, which Beccah can’t quite keep straight). For our spotlight, we turn to the world of book clubs: we talk about why we love them, highlight some of our favorites from one of our local bookstores, and rhapsodize about the joys of reading in community.

This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two we’ve got our eyes on next. Somewhere in the middle, we stumble into our very first fact-check moment – a spontaneous realization that we mixed something up back in Episode 1 (oops, y’all). From there, we dive into part two of our “This or That” discussion, sharing more of our bookish quirks and preferences, so you can get to know our reading tastes a little better.
