Reading Beyond Our Favorites - Genres We Find Challenging, Ep48
We all have our go-to sections of the bookstore…and the ones we tend to walk right past. In this episode, the Lit Gals are stepping outside our reading comfort zones and tackling the genres we find challenging. Anna, Morgan, and Martie share the genres we struggle to pick up, the books that have helped change our minds, and what we’ve discovered by reading beyond our usual favorites. Maybe we’ll even convince each other (and you!) to give something new a try!
The Lit Gals are proud to be part of the Keep Indiana Learning network and are excited to also be airing on the KINL Podcast Network this season!
