I think my two main picks, I don't know.

They might be top 10 of the year.

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 mood readers who are easily distracted by new releases.

And this week, we are talking about complicated love stories. If you enjoy listening,
