Today we get into some great books written by Black authors which should just be great books by great authors but the publishing world has a long way to go and needs to do better at promoting Black authors SO we are doing it for them today. And I have to say, some of these books are in out all-time favorites regardless. So enjoy! PS, Nicole is a dumdum and there is some slight audio hum here and there but we will figure it out for next week. I PROMISE. Bear with us. Find us on Instagram @ReadRadioPodcast.

No new podcast this week as Liz & Nicole are wanting to show respect for what's going on in our country right now, I just doesn't feel right. Please give a listen to our message for our thoughts on #BLACKLIVESMATTER, and go to our Instagram page @ReadRadioPodcast to find information on where and how to donate to the cause because black lives DO matter. 

Today we tackle books turned into TV and movies. The good, the bad, and the 50 Shades of Grey. Yup, we go there. Also, yes, we know, we are terrible at remembering people's names, we will work on that. Lastly, some light language, FYI.   Follow us on Instagram @ReadRadioPodcast.

It's been WEEKS since you've seen a familiar face and you're going nuts. Us too so we came up with a great list of books that will help you forget, even for a little bit, all that's awful in the world. In addition, once again, Nicole does not follow directions, we talk way too much about reality TV and we describe our strange and mangled family trees. There's a lot to unpack here.  For more information about Libro.fm click here. Please visit us on Instagram @ReadRadioPodcast. You can follow Nicole @ReadRadioNicole and Liz @DonnaMartinReads.
