In this episode, we’re joined by the wonderful, the elegant, your Book Rec Queen and ours: Lauren Moore from Book Huddle!

We enjoyed every bit of our conversation about the Book Huddle biz, the best book recs, and Lauren's new venture as an author! (Even getting a little inside scoop on her debut novel...)
