Can I Bring My Book

Reading Relay, Bestie Book Swap, and Fourth Wing Love

Can I Bring My Book. The podcast where we, Kat and Amanda, will tangentially discuss books... and so much more.

In this episode, Kat and Amanda share their recent reads, including 4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, and Murder and Marble Cake by Nancy McGovern. They also discuss their January Bestie Book Swap picks—Kat reflects on Maid by Stephanie Land, a moving memoir about resilience, poverty, and overcoming stigma, while Amanda gushes over Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, officially joining "Dragon Club."

The duo dives into the inspiration behind their virtual Reading Relay sessions, explaining how it’s the perfect alternative to traditional book clubs for introverts and busy readers alike. They also announce February’s selected read, The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride, a mix of murder mystery and community storytelling.

Whether you’re a fan of dragons, reading relays, or just need an excuse to curl up with a good book, this episode has something for everyone.
