The Village Podcast from The Bookshelf


Jan 8, 2016

*** Note: The audio in this episode is a little wonky but we enjoyed the discussion so much we thought you wouldn't mind.

We start 2016 by reflecting on the best things we read and saw in 2015. That's how you start a new year, right? By looking backwards?

You can listen in to hear what Steph and Candice thought their best books, movies and books turned movies were in 2015. Or you can read this list and spoil the surprise.
