In this episode (Live on Apple, Google, and Spotify on February 21, 2023), we are excited to meet with Kari Tanaka from the University of Lethbridge bookstore. Leveraging her years as a bookseller and dedicated book/author supporter, Kari offers many suggestions for teachers (and readers) to add to their book collections. She also shares some tips on how to do a book talk that gets readers interested in the text. Kari’s excitement for great books is truly contagious; we cannot be held responsible for the number of books you decide to buy after listening to this episode.
