Welcome to our Monday morning podcast! We are two friends keeping in touch through the power of books.

We decided to start our own book club with our 17th book being ‘The Dark Portal’ by Robin Jarvis. Each week we’ll be letting you know our thoughts on the book. We would love you to join in and get involved so pick this book up from your local library and read along with us!

We then chat about what we’ve been reading and our book-related news! This week we discuss:

· ‘Ask No Questions’ by Claire Allan (6.52)

· ‘The Help’ by Kathryn Stockett (7.42)

· ‘Foster’ by Claire Keegan (12.24)

· ‘Big Swiss’ by Jen Beagin (14.40)

We rate all our books: Return, Fine, Renew or Overdue. Let's hope we don’t get too many returns.

Head over to our Instagram @LoungingWithBooks for great booky content. And let us know your thoughts on ‘The Dark Portal’. Join us by reading up to Chapter 11 before our next podcast :D.
