Episode 31 - These are my Trophies with Jenn Moland-Kovash
Manage episode 454601123 series 3573970
On this episode, Jenn Moland-Kovash and I discuss our shared interest in thrift-store book sections, the joy of walking around a bookstore and pointing out the books we have read, and her theories about why romantasy is popular. Jenn also gets me on a roll about the difference between book collecting and reading and why sprayed edges mean nothing to me.
The Mail-a-Book program is still alive and well!
