This week on Books and Tea Podcast, Kyrie and Cori go over their top 6 picks for 2018. For a while, we were excited thinking the final episode of 2018 was 18, but it’s not. It is Episode 19. While drinking Organic Gunpowder Green tea from Bare Leaves, Kyrie and Cori take turns discussing their favourite books of the year.
