Welcome to the Stacks, a podcast about books. I'm your host Tracy Thomas and this week we are joined by the creator of Book Girl Magic, Renee Hicks. We talk to Renee about her journey into reading, creating her own online book club,

and books she loves plus a handful that she doesn't.

But before we dive into Renee's story I want to remind you about Patreon.

Patreon is a website that allows you to become a real life patron of the arts.

You commit to a monthly contribution which makes you a member of the Stax Pack.

That's our own bookish crew here at the Stax.

And once you're in you can get membership to our virtual book club, shoutouts on

social media and a lot more. This week I want to give a little love to Rebecca

Punch, who's our newest member of the Stax Pack. If you're interested in

joining this community of readers who support creativity,

diversity and literacy, plus getting to know that you help make a podcast you love

possible, go to Patreon.com slash the Stacks or click the link in the show notes. This show would be

impossible without the Stax Pack, so thank you. If a monthly subscription isn't your

thing and you feel like you'd rather do a one-time donation go to paypal dot me slash the Stax pod and

contribute what you can. You can also help support the show by shopping through the

links in our show notes before you shop on websites like Amazon. The Stax earns a small

commission on these purchases and it comes at no cost to you so everybody wins.

Oh and don't forget to subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts.

Apple Podcast, Google Play, Spotify, Tune-In, Stitcher, wherever.

And if you listen to us through Apple Podcasts, please take a moment to rate and review the show.

This week, our most recent review comes from J.P. R. G. Lisa, who's
