This week, the gang talks about books, books, and more books. The ones we loved reading as kids, the ones we shouldn't have read as kids, the books that shaped us how we grew up and what role books & reading plays now in our increasingly digital world.
Between rolling into the Scholastic book fairs, paying fines from overdue library books, sneaking forbidden books as a teenager and audio books vs old school reading, jump into to the land of make believe and imagination with us. Call us geeks, call us bookworms but don’t cancel our library card because we have opinions.
