Episode 13 is here!  We review the fantasy book, "Defend the Dawn" by Brigid Kemmerer.  Get ready for flowers, boats and pirates.   Goodreads gives this 4.39 out of 5, would Mel take the over or under on that rating?  Is it a pirates life for Mel?   Would Mel recommend this book to her book club... or her mom? What similar books would we compare this to?  Thank you to all the reviews on Apple Podcasts! We could always use more - it will help new listeners discover this show and give us something to talk about during the next episode.

The Hold List - Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

Check out our weekly episodes to learn about books that we (this is the royal 'we' because Ryan does not read) have been reading and figure out what you might (or might not) want to add to your library hold list. 

Mel is the reader and her husband Ryan is a broadcast dude, making her try this podcast thing out. Does it work? Tune in to find out, and learn about new books to add to your hold list.
