    Episode 13: "Caaathy, come in! Come in, Cathy!"

    Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions.

    Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk.  This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next.
