Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.
Join us as we chat about our favorite books to pick up in the summertime! We discuss our suspicion of the typical idea of a “beach read”, dig into what makes a book feel sufficiently “summery”, and attempt to grow your TBR pile with a few more lovely titles.
