Phil & Sara pretend to be Civil War experts

Phil and Sara are back, and even though Phil told us he wasn't only going to read Shelby Foote's Civil War Narrative, he has been sucked in by Foote's wit and flowery language. So we talked a bit about that, as well as Tommy Orange's Wandering Stars [https://square.link/u/K5B93wHR] and Michael Harriot's Black AF History [https://square.link/u/K5B93wHR]. You can also listen to all of the books we talk about here [https://libro.fm/playlists/4048?bookstore=bookish]! Lastly, you can go here [https://bookshop.org/lists/the-bookish-life-podcast-collection]and see a playlist of book we discuss on the podcast.

New Year, New Podcast...Finally

Check out what we've been reading and what we're excited about. You can find books in the shop, at Bookshop.org [https://bookshop.org/lists/the-bookish-life-podcast-collection], or listen on Librofm!
