Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk.

This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two we’ve got our eyes on next. Somewhere in the middle, we stumble into our very first fact-check moment – a spontaneous realization that we mixed something up back in Episode 1 (oops, y’all). From there, we dive into part two of our “This or That” discussion, sharing more of our bookish quirks and preferences, so you can get to know our reading tastes a little better.

To see more of us, you can find us on Instagram at: @IReckonIllReadIt
