"Speaking As A Former Baby" ft. A Very Special Guest!

<p>On today's episode, we’re lucky enough to interview the one, the only, KayReadWhat'sMom! You know her, you love her, you've maybe even heard her in the background of an episode or two: it's Kayla's mom, Kelley! Books and the City pod is so excited to sit down with her and talk all things books. Kelley recently reignited her love of reading (thanks to Kayla's wonderful book recs and insane reading speed), so keep listening to find out what she's been loving recently, how reading helps soothe her anxiety, and her celeb crush (who she got to meet!). And stay tuned to hear from us with your latest round of recent reads.
