Friday Reads: ‘Nothing else but a five-star read’
*The week in review on my channel:*
Zooming In: Brian of Bookish and Shawn the Book Maniac give reading challenges a workout: youtu.be/cMbz4rk79ZU
Book Haul: youtu.be/rL5BosIS2VI
Another Saskatoon library-book veelog: youtu.be/ljVzRxI90fU
Zooming In: Anna Baillie-Karas and Shawn on readers influencing writers: youtu.be/cMbz4rk79ZU
I’m now putting mystery guest webpages and books they’ve written near the bottom of my show notes, so that you might better resist the temptation to peek. 😜 (This also means that books authored by mystery guests will not be in the regular book list or time stamps but in that separate section farther down.)
