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. From there, we spend an excessive amount of time discussing The Little Mermaid (we apologize in advance), bring a couple of current reads celebrating Black History Month to the table, and somehow get so silly that Summer laughs to the point of tears – more than once. We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment on book-to-screen adaptations: what we love, what we hate, and a few we’re convinced should have never made it off the page.
