Welcome to our Monday morning podcast, Lounging With Books!

We're two book-loving friends staying connected through the power of books. This week, we're diving into our 22nd book club pick, Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake. Join us as we share our thoughts on the book. Grab your copy from your local library and read along with us!

But that's not all, every episode is packed with bookish goodness. We chat about what we've been reading, share exciting book-related news, and rate all our reads with our signature system: Return, Fine, Renew, or Overdue (fingers crossed for no Returns!).

This week’s reading highlights include:

📖 The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett (6.42)

📖 And Away… by Bob Mortimer (8.30)

📖 The Party by Tessa Hadley (10.40)

📖 Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang (13.05)

We wrap up with the exciting 'Bring Your Best B Challenge'! Who brought the best 'B' item to the podcast? Head over to our Instagram and cast your vote for your favourite!

Follow us on Instagram @LoungingWithBooks for more bookish content and to share your thoughts on Make the Season Bright. We will be reading to the end of the book before next week's episode!

Let’s make every week a great week for books. Happy reading! 📚✨
