YA Gotta Read This Episode One

I never wanted to make a podcast. I love listening to them, but I didn't think it was something I'd be interested in. Then I realized that I could use it as an excuse to force my sister to talk to me about books for an hour. I proposed the idea, and she was just as into it as I was. So this little podcast was born.

YA Gotta Read This is a podcast where my sister I discuss Young Adult books and things having to do with YA. It was born out of a need to have time to talk about silly things and serious things and everything in between. Both of us are heavily involved in the YA literature world (she is a high school English teacher and I am the Young Adult Coordinator at our public library) so it is really just a natural fit.

In this first episode, we thought we would introduce ourselves in the best way we know how: by describing our favorite books, the ones we come back to again and again. 

Chapter One: Books We Call Home

In which our heroines reveal the books that have become their home.

Join us as we discuss the books that we find ourselves visiting again and again.
