Nevermore, the Trials of Morgan Crow, by Jessica Townsend, Book Review

Meredith and Kaytee are back in your earbuds for more bookish chat.

You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us – something readerly in our lives that we want to highlight, and a few of the books we've finished reading lately. Then we'll chat about what's next up on the TBR pile.

This episode we truly begin to show our love for middle-grade fiction. We hadn't planned it this way, but we recommend a plethora of fantastic titles for your kids - or for the lover of kit lit in you.

Next, we both divulge our worst bookish habits, and chat a little bit about how we try to "combat" those habits.

We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to put into every reader's hands: something that has consistently ranked on our favorites list or been well-beloved by the people in our lives that we've convinced to read it. Perhaps it will become one of your favorites as well.

Time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book we mentioned in this episode. If you'd like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don't scroll down!
