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. We share a few bookish confessions with each other, Beccah can't let a certain "spitting" scene go, somehow find common threads of both Jane Austen and retirement communities across our books, and we revisit some of our favorite reads from last year.
