Welcome to Behind the Books Podcast: Season 2! We're excited to be starting off a near year and a new season; a big thanks to everyone who supported us last year and we're looking forward to bringing you even better content this year.  Another quick announcement: we're returning to uploading an episode every second Friday instead of every week.  Without further ado, welcome to the first episode of the new season. This week, we look back at 2021 as a reading year and share our Goodreads Year in Books, as well as look forward to the new year. We discuss reading resolutions we have for 2022 and how we hope to achieve that.  Listening on Apple Podcasts? Write a review! Let's be friends! 💌 https://linktr.ee/behindthebooksclub
