Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk.
This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. In this episode, we cover a surprising number of genres, convince ourselves that our lives would be better (and far more emotionally compelling) if narrated by a cat, pivot hard into robot territory (with far too many android jokes), and land with a very honest conversation about book slumps – how they happen, why they stick around, and how to get out of one.
Books We Mentioned:
Spur of the Moment Question: Current favorite bookish accessory
Book pouches, pens, bookmarks
