Description

Babes in Bookland is the book club podcast for women who love women's stories. We read the memoirs, dissect the narratives, and celebrate the writers brave enough to put it all on the page. Great books, honest conversation, and a whole lot of love for women's voices in literature. Think of us as your most well-read friend who always knows exactly which book you need next.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
