    Our Biggest GREEN FLAGS in Books!
    Nov 22 2024
    A few we episodes ago, we discussed the things in books (and the book community) that give us pause, and make us shy away from certain books. Today, we're going to be covering our GREEN FLAGS in books...the things that when we see it, we get excited about, or become inclined to pick up and read. As always, please share YOUR green flags down below!
