Books and Bites Podcast, Episode 59
JCPL librarians bring you book recommendations and discuss the bites and beverages to pair with them.
On this episode, we discuss the eleventh prompt in the Books and Bites 2021 Reading Challenge, comfort reads. We share what “comfort read” means to us and offer some of our own suggestions. Be sure to submit your entries for the Books and Bites Challenge in November and December; these will be the last two chances to earn entries in our monthly and grand prize drawings for 2021.
