Grab a coffee or tea and hang out while we talk about books we are currently reading and other book-related topics. We read mainly Fantasy, Fiction, and Sci-Fi, (in that order) with a few Self-Help books thrown in here and there. We've (David & Gabby) been married since 2018 and are parents to two little boys. Even through the chaos, we have gotten each other to read more last year than we ever have before. And this podcast is a place for us to share that love for books with you! You can hang out with us here, or on YouTube, just search "David & Gabby's Book Club" and we should be there!
