Hi, book nerds! We’re really excited to bring these monthly episodes to our paid subscribers. This is the first episode Carrie and Mia are recording together, so give us some grace as we figure out what we’re doing in terms of podcast editing, haha. And please excuse Mia’s unsexy man voice, she’s still recovering from COVID.

We’ll be sharing what we read this past month, starting with some featured books that have more of an-depth review. And then we’ll finish off the episode with the rest of the books we read with a couple of quick thoughts, and also share some books we’re excited to read next. Time to dive in!
