1 hr 21 min - Let’s Play a Game: ReRead/ReWrite/Burn
Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown:
🎙 We play a fun game that is an older booktube tag -- ReRead/ReWrite/Burn. This game stumped us, made us laugh, and rethink our reading choices.
We scroll through our Bookly Apps and choose three books—one book we’d reread, one book we’d rewrite, and one book we’d burn. It was definitely not easy but sure was a ton of fun to play.
