Best Book Recommendations We've Given Each Other | Iron Widow, Lore Olympus, Throne of Glass & More

The Book Jar Podcast

Will we hurt each other's feelings? You'll have to listen to find out! In this episode of The Book Jar Pod, Megan and Marissa discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the books they've recommended to each other over the years. From some classic recommendations like Sabriel and Iron Widow to some newer ones like Emma and Throne of Glass, expect to hear all about the best – and perhaps the worst – recommendations exchanged between these two readers.

We end the podcast with our currently reading list, and then we draw our next topic from our book jar!

• An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
