Episode 17
Our Vacation Reads and Challenges Update
In this episode, Gayle and Nicole go over their vacation reads, and they discuss how traumatic events in fiction books tend to be happening more often than it usually does in real life, which can lead to a feeling of being overfed with trauma while reading the story.
Towards the second half of the episode, they talk about their current reading challenges and their picks.
