Happily Booked: A Bookcast

This is the podcast where two 'kindred spirits' believe that the pursuit of happiness is the same thing as reading a good book and being able to talk about it!This is the 45-minute to an hour-long podcast show where the two hostesses will discuss...books! They will talk about what they have read recently, whether they have enjoyed those books or not, what they are currently reading, what they hope to get into next, and other hobbies such as knitting and crocheting! A little bit of "life" talk may pop in and out of these episodes, perhaps even a guest or two will appear, but whatever occurs Brooke and Becky can be counted on to discuss one subject for sure, making this show their "bookcast"!
