Episode 4 - Cuckoo Bananas Thrillers with Erin Jacobo

Books with Betsy

On this episode, Erin Jacobo and I discuss a lot of really juicy thrillers, her love of a heart wrenching story, and why romance just doesn’t work for us. She also tells some great stories about her family and their connection with reading, and we learn how much she has influenced my reading life!
