Books Around the Block
We’re Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay—three neighbors who can’t stop talking about books, so we’re bringing the conversation to you. Each episode, we’ll dive into the stories we love (and maybe a few we don’t), mixing fun with literary insight. So get ready to laugh, add to your TBR, and join the discussion—because in our neighborhood, a good book is always just around the block.

Expect honest reviews, plenty of laughs, relatable reading chaos, and neighborly banter you didn’t ask for but definitely need.
