- Unboxing "Winterwood"
You know how YouTubers unbox new products? Well… we’re doing that to books! Each episode we’ll offer our first impressions of a book we’ve never read. Listen to our opinions on the cover art, dedication page, first sentence, and general vibes.
Today we unbox Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw!
Disclaimer: Yeah, we know our audio is a little weird on this one. We're doing our best, we promise. Just consider it a little ~ambiance~ ...please?

About Too Old; Still Reading
From the publisher's feed
As basically 30-year-olds, Jade and Bethany explore why young adult fiction still holds a special place in their gently-aging hearts. Each episode, they dive into the enticing and exasperating stories…
from when they were “young adults” and affirm their ongoing love of the genre as “adults.” Come for the hot vampire takes, stay for the Excel spreadsheets.
