Our Reading Life: August 2023

In this episode of Our Reading Life, we talk more about Jennifer A. Nielsen, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, and Girl Sleuth. Tanya makes a "sensational" confession just after we talk about the wisdom of Louisa May Alcott in Eight Cousins. Sara has more to say about Gary D. Schmidt and Lloyd Alexander while Sarah shares about her current read-aloud from Living Book Press. And, Diane has saved all of us from having to read bad books... this one is a fun episode and we hope that you will join in the conversation by heading over to the free Plumfield Reads corner of the Biblioguides Online Community at Mighty Networks. If you want links to all of the things that we have discussed, check out our show notes.
