90: The Questions We Want to Ask Authors

Show notes: You hear us say it at the beginning of every episode: we have very different reading styles! Yes, there’s some overlap here and there with genres or authors that we love, but for the most part, we gravitate in opposite directions when it comes to reading. As a result, the terms “Team Sarah” and “Team Mia” have become a shorthand we use to refer to our specific reading styles and habits. So, if you’ve ever wondered which team you’re on or what it all means, this is the episode for you.    Click here to join us on Patreon to get an exclusive bookish goodie every single Friday.
