Welcome back, Literary Slummers, to another episode of Shelf Aware, the podcast where we delve into books outside our comfort zone. And this week, we’re finally here to discuss the almost 700 page teenage romance involving sparkly, brooding Edward, and lol-I’m-so-clumsy Bella. That’s right. We read Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer, the first book in Anna’s new unit on parallel novels. Hope you’re ready for this experience.
Join us next week for another Morph Monday!
