I love the act of teaching. Of educating. When I know something, I want to share it with others. That might be about books (ok, it's usually about books) or fair trade or habits or organization or whatever I feel compelled to share and teach. So this is one tiny way I have found to do that.
Looking at life through a bookish lens, internet-turned-IRL friends, Katie and Mollie, swap stories about the books they're currently loving and the life they're currently living. Grab a cup of tea (or a Moscow Mule) as we chat about the intersection of books, faith, family, friendship, personality, and culture.
