Zooming In: Mindy and Shawn on the audacity of literary opinion



The I Recommends by Jon Doughboy: minorliteratures.com/2023/10/10/the-i-recommends-jon-doughboy



Zooming In is a series on my channel featuring chats with bookish social media luminaries, writers, and readers. Each short episode features a conversation about a book-related article, podcast episode, etc. The playlist of all Zooming In episodes is here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU-61cZp1pQfTh913NXVUFqKCzGlTh8Ez.
