Since this is our very first episode we thought it would be appropriate to make the theme for this one, &quot;Books that made us fall in love with reading&quot;. We cover Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson, Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary, and Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L. M. Montgomery). We also discuss the recent trend of sensitivity editors in the publishing industry, why Josie loves to write young adult books, and somewhere along the way one of us gets drunk.

Ep.2: Our favorite books about friendship

Part book club, part podcast, Fiction Between Friends is a celebration of how a really good book can come into your life and change it. No scathing reviews or negative commentary, just great books and engaging conversations. Hosted by four childhood friends from the suburbs of Massachusetts, each episode covers either four books they’ve loved from the past, or a new release that just hit the bookshelves. It is an idyllic place for bibliophiles to rekindle their love for an old favorite or find a new one to read.
