Episode 20: You’re Going to Start Weeping About the Pipes

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. From there, Beccah makes an emotional plea for someone – anyone – to love sad existential books, so she can have people commenting about her great taste in books. Things take a wild turn when a cricket appears in the studio, triggering a genuine crisis mid-recording. Once the heart palpitations subside, we get overly invested in the concept of a detective pony (despite the obvious thumb-related limitations). We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment breaking down all the different book apps out there!
