Starting our Sip and Dip portion by chatting about our ins and outs for 2024. Then moving along to LOTS of book recs (and a couple of book DNFs…) by answering the topic: Name a book that… made you cry/ made you love reading/ you can’t stop thinking about/ etc, etc, etc. Check out the (super long) list below for all the books we chatted about! Honestly, this episode could have been HOURS long.
We’ll post a template on Instagram (@sipbetweenthelinespod) for you to use to show us what books made you love reading/ cry/ think deeply/ etc. Tag us so we can see what your picks are!
