Ep 159: Reading Roundup January 2023 (a Secret Stuff Sneak Peek)

My favorite thing in the world to talk about is books and while I will always have occasional reading episodes here as part of 10 Things To Tell You, did you know that I do a reading roundup every single month as part of my Secret Stuff membership? 

Every month on Secret Stuff I share what I've been reading lately (the good, the bad, and the unfinished), and I wanted you to have a sneak peek to what one of those episodes sounds like. 

In addition to the monthly reading roundup, when you join Secret Stuff you also get personal episodes, bonus content and merch, and TWO monthly zooms led by me! 


This episode is presented ad-free like all Secret Stuff episodes.
