BiblioFiles #68: Meditations on Summer Reading
It’s a busy summer for the CenterForLit crew. So even though our days may not actually be full of lazy, beach-side reading, we can certainly still dream about it. In this episode we talk about our different ideal summer reading experiences and swap a few titles to add to our unrealistic bucket lists. What would you like to read this summer?
