Guest: Rebecca Leber-Gottberg is either an Events Coordinator/Bookstore Owner who moonlights as a College History Professor or vice versa. She jumped into the book world with Rediscovered Books in Boise, Idaho nearly 6 years ago and has not looked back. That wish to have a job where someone would pay her to read books for a living has paid off in a much bigger way than she ever would have expected. She lives in Boise, Idaho with her spouse and a neurotic pitbull named Pancake.
