Summary
On this week's episode, we are continuing one of Dan and Ian's favorite traditions on the podcast.
Today we are talking about books, and in particular our favorite books that we have read in the past year.
Last year, we invited our good friend and talented author Kyla Gardner to the show to talk about books with us.
We had so much fun with that episode that we asked her to return this week. On today's podcast, Dan and Kyla are sharing their five favorite reads of 2019.
This conversation also details how some of our reading habits have changed since last year, why Kyla has started writing fiction, and much more.
