Episode 8: How to get the most out of book club

In this episode of Book Clubbin, we share our tips for how to get the most out of book club, and how to leave every book club meeting feeling uplifted, inspired, and connected. Sallie shares an interesting comment from a listener in a new segment called Club Chat, and as always, we end with our current reading situation. 

Editor's Note: My Internet sleuthing reveals that Ibtihaj Muhammad has chosen to retire from fencing and will not compete in the 2020 Olympics. As much as I would love to see her compete, I completely respect her decision and I think she has a fantastic career to be proud of! I can't wait to see what she does next.
