The Lottura Podcast

Join us for our very first book club episode, hosted by Olivia Litts and Kristine Reeves!

We've spent the past five weeks reading Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis, and now we dive into our thoughts and reflections. We highly encourage you to find a friend (or more) to discuss your own thoughts with, and we hope this podcast episode can help facilitate your discussion.

To share your own thoughts, feedback, questions, or to just say hey, email Olivia at [email protected].

Votes are open for our next book. Sign up here if you haven't yet, and you will receive an email with the voting info!

You asked, and we listened. We bring you, The Lottura Book Club!

Join Olivia and Kristine to hear about why we decided to bring this vision to life, and how it will work.
