15. Literary Throwbacks and reading YA for fun: a chat with Alli Hoff Kosik of The SSR Podcast

We're excited to welcome our first guest on the podcast today! Alli Hoff Kosik is the host of the SSR Podcast, where she breaks down an old school read from her tween and teen years with a special guest every Tuesday. Today, we're chatting about classic and contemporary YA lit, the magic of middle grade, how childhood books stick with us into adulthood, and more. As always, we're offering some novel pairings—this time with classic kid lit or YA books and contemporary adult reads.

You can find the SSR Podcast wherever you download your podcast episodes. Follow Alli on Instagram and Twitter and say hello!

PS: Congratulations on 100 episodes, Alli!
