Welcome to Book Talk, Et cetera, a podcast bound to grow your TBR.

I'm Tina and I'm Renee.

And this is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest new readers who are easily distracted by new releases.

And today, we're talking about

books we discovered while on our bookstore browse. If you enjoy listening, we'd love for you to

And I was like pushing to do this early because I think it's so fun. I think that's what's so fun about reading is like the anticipation, the find the can you find the next big thing.
