Ep. 121 Reading with Mr. & Mrs. Stacks
Our guest today is Traci Thomas. Thats right, Traci, the host of The Stacks, is finally spilling her answers to all The Stacks questions. She is talking about what she's reading, what books make her angry, and pretty much all things books. The best part is, her guest host is none other than her husband, Mr. Stacks. It's an episode unlike any other, but still has all the book recommendations you could possibly need.
The Stacks Book Club selection for July is Breathe by Imani Perry. We will discuss the book with Kiese Laymon on July 29th.
