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 dive straight into the Christmas season with a festive Spur-of-the-Moment Question and some holiday recs! Summer updates us on her Lord of the Rings journey, and we wrap things up with a book-themed “Naughty or Nice” Spotlight Segment that really exposes just how questionable our reading habits really are.
