Welcome to the 30th episode of The Bookcast Club, a book podcast for people who love to read and talk books. Today we've got a slightly different episode for you. The first in a new series called 'My Life in Books'. As bookish people we have a lot of bookish friends and we will be chatting to them about the books that have inspired and affected their lives. Our first episode is with Christine from StoryCraft. You can also find Christine on Instagram.
Support The Bookcast Club
You can support the podcast on Patreon. Our aim, when we hit $75 a month, is to set up a fund to allow those with less money to buy books. If you are happy to donate for no reward you can do so on our website. A free way to show your support, and a very effective way of spreading the word, is to mention us on social media or review us on iTunes.
We encourage you to support independent bookshops or libraries. You can find a list of independent bookshops to support on our website, many of which do home delivery.
