On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, I talked with my dear friend Jewel Gilbert about all things books and reading…as usual! It's high time we had Jewel on the podcast, as both Rachel Palm (episode 12) and Hannah Wright (episode 17) talked about her. As you'll hear, she's ready to join the conversation! I will actually have two episodes with Jewel. A second one will be coming your way on August 12th with some questions she asked me and a hopeful conversation about striving making the world a better place in the midst of all the strife and uncertainty.

On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, I have a special Father's Day episode for you. That's right, we are going to chat with my father, Dr. Bob Roller. We'll hear about the family legacy of reading that inspired him to read as a kid and then led to our tradition of story time at the Roller house. This conversation made me reflect on how I became the person I am today! He'll tell you more about himself, but in addition to being an avid reader, he's a writer, a finance professor, and an ordained minister, plus being a loving husband and father.
