Episode 10: Reading in quarantine

In this episode of Book Clubbin, we’re discussing how the COVID-19 crisis and sheltering in place has affected us. We talk about the surprising ways life has changed, how we’re dealing with it, and most importantly, what we’re reading! We also share a few book recommendations for you and your family, whether you need a super light, fun read, or an engaging page-turner to take your mind off things. Plus, Sallie announces a huge achievement! As always, we end with our current reading situation.
