Episode 144 - Celebrating Our 5th Anniversary!

On Episode 144 we celebrate our anniversary! Join us as we take a walk down memory lane reflecting on the last five years together as the Book Cougars. We chat about memorable biblio adventures and group readalongs, highlight some of our top reads of the past five years, and take the opportunity to thank people that are part of the Book Cougar’s family. Special guests on this episode include Laura Thoma and Aunt Ellen! As a group, we discuss initial reactions when we picked the name “Book Cougars” for the podcast. Both Chris and Emily are reading I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS by Maya Angelou. This book is our next readalong and we would love for you to join the conversation. Check the website details. Emily did some biblio-adventuring in Michigan. A highlight was a stop in Glen Arbor where she stepped into the delightful Cottage Book Shop located in a log cabin. Chris had the opportunity to explore historic navigation books at the Coast Guard Academy Library Special Collections - she touched a book from 1680!
