Description

Book Pile Banter discusses an array of books, whether Young Adult, New Adult, or Adult. Amberlee, Sarah, and Kim consider what they did or did not like about a book, occasionally get off-topic, and then bring it back to whether they would recommend the book and what other books are like the topic. It is a biweekly discussion, so you can read the book before listening!
