How To Read More This Year! Honest Book Reviews and Tips
I love talking books with friends. Sharing book reviews is one of my favorite things to do. There’s nothing like sitting down with a friend, a coffee, and talking books!
Last year was a great reading year for me. I’m sure your home is a super busy place, just like mine. But even though it’s busy, we can still make time to read a ton!
Wouldn’t it be fun to tune in to a pair of friends chatting about their favorite (and LEAST favorite) books from the year? Well, I would love for you to join me on the podcast this week and listen in as my friend Liz and I share our brutally honest book reviews!

I actually don’t hate Girl Wash Your Face ? but I definitely don’t think it’s for everyone.
Ahhhhh, I was literally pumping my arms in the arm with both your reactions to Girl, Wash You Face. I hated that book too, tried several times, could never get behind it. Thank you for articulating what was wrong with it and making me feel like I wasn’t alone. Alicia, there are so many similarities between us and I so enjoy your podcast!
