Not Now, I’m Reading

Hosted ByKay & Chelsea

Join us once a week to talk about a book of our choice, along with all of the other things we’re reading and loving! When picking media to discuss, our guiding principle is that we want to read things that make us happy. From comics to romance, through science-fiction, young adult, crime or fantasy. If it can be classed as genre fiction, it’s something we’ll gush about.
