S1 E 17 To Beach Read or not to Beach Read

This week we talk about Beach Reads! What makes a Beach Read? What books would we take to a beach–mystery, horror, rom com? We talk butterfly-inducing and whether a beach or water setting is required. 

We give the books we’re planning to read over summer, as well as some of our favorite beach reads! 

Also, since it’s the last episode of our first season, we talk favorite moments, hardest part of a podcast, and a few teasers for Season 2 of the Lit Ladies!
