    Reading Slumps

    Welcome back to the Lazy Sunday Book Club on this two-for-one weekend! We wanted to keep the schedule up, but we didn't have a new episode ready to go so we've pulled an old one out of the archives for you instead all about... reading slumps! This was recorded about four months ago when we were relaunching, so some of it's a bit out of date, but we hope you enjoy it all the same as we talk all about those dreaded downs that sometimes hit you as a reader. Spooky October Book Club book: The Lighthouse Witches by C. J. Cooke. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
