2024 went by in a blur of babies and books - a combined 35 books, in fact. In this bonus episode we reflect on our reading journeys in 2024 and look ahead at what 2025 has in store.

Disclaimer: Both hosts' babies decided to wake up during the recording of this episode, so there are baby noises throughout. We hope this doesn't take away from your enjoyment of the episode!
