Thank you, Emily! It’s wonderful to have our podcast guests listening to other guests.

If you love books, we promise you’ll want to listen to this interview with bestselling author Deesha Philyaw on how she became an avid reader, how she maintains her book collection and what gets put out on her bookshelves. And for your bookshelves, check out Deesha’s short story collection The Secret Lives of Church Ladies and pre-order her September novel The True Confessions of First Lady Freeman.

Let us know in the comments how you decide which books are keepers!
