Summer took over my life (and my motivation!) for a little while, but I'm back! After a lovely--and socially distanced--beach trip, it seems as if summer is coming to an end . . . 

Here's a look at what we've had going on for the past month at unabridgedpod.com. Hint: we've chatted with a ton of guests, we've read so many great books, AND we realized that we've hit the midpoint of 2020, which meant it was time to do some reflecting . . .

  • 132 (Book Club Episode): Emily Henry's Beach Read
  • 133 - Underrated Books and Authors with Mariely Sylvette Martinez of PodQueens Latinas
  • 134: How to Find Joy - Discussing What You Wish For with Katherine Center
  • 135: Books We'd Love to See Adapted with Morgan Hoit @NYCBookGirl
