Episode 114 – Bests & Worsts of 2018 (Part 1, Children’s & YA)

Tune in to our Bests & Worsts of 2018 episodes to hear us discuss these titles and read excerpts from our favorites! Please note:

For that reason, we picked top 5 favorites and only 1 least favorite–we have this whole podcast to talk about bad books, so for these episodes we’re choosing to focus on the positive!
Some of our “worsts” are really just “least best.” Listen to the podcast to hear more detail!
