Learn what to check out next! We talk about books and movies in many different genres.
In this episode, Stephanie Hall and Autumn Friedli join Thad Hartman, Miranda Ericsson and Lissa Staley to discuss books made into movies. What do we love? What do we hate? What do we need to re-read? What do we wish we could un-see? What friendships were destroyed when we took sides over our opinions about Harry Potter?
