Join us as we talk about what we bring to books when we read them, and how sometimes even the best book isn’t the best for us.Book we recommend - The Change by Kirsten MillerBooks Rebecca is currently reading:The Axeman’s Carnival by Catherine ChidgeyStone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood Books Colleen is currently readingLittle Rot by Akwaeke EmeziThe Moon That Turns You Back Poems by Hala Alyan  Held by Anne Michaels Books Athena is currently readingOn the Calculation of Volume (Book I)  by Solvej BalleThis is a Love Story by Jessica Soffer Athena also shared the Paris Review interview with Ocean Vuong Thank you for joining us. Three avid readers (Rebecca, Colleen, and Athena) host a podcast about being a reader to investigate their interactions with books: this includes a close look at books that people rave about, and we couldn’t even finish, and why we continue to follow writers when we have only liked their early books. It is also a place where we shine a light on the unseen or underappreciated books we fell in love with.SocialsNOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOU BOOK PODCAST website | https://rebeccabeardsall.com/podcast/ YouTube | @bookpodcastersCOLLEEN CLEMENSInstagram | @colclemensauthor REBECCA BEARDSALL website | https://rebeccabeardsall.comInstagram | @author_rebeccabeardsallATHENA ROTHInstagram | @athenaroth
