Something We Read
Kathryn and Eve are sisters who love to read books that make them think. Books they can’t shut up about. And if starting this podcast doesn’t prove that they can’t shut up about the books they read, what will?! They’ve been reading together their whole lives, and now they want to read with you! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Note: This episode was recorded at the end of December, hence all the chat about the new year & related resolutions. In the grand scheme of things, it still is the new year, so I don’t wanna hear it. This was also recorded before we revised our publishing schedule to make actual sense, so ignore all the confusing discussion about when the books are being read vs. discussed. Look to our instagram as your guide. XOXO
