Tami 🎧 listened to Bill Bryson’s In a Sunburned Country - all about Australia 🇦🇺 and it was FANTASTIC! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

🎙 Tami recommends you listen to Bill read his own book for maximum comedic impact - oh man, the story about boogie boarding and the jellyfish is a hoot!

Jamie read The Believers, a fictional story all about the early 80s AIDS crisis. What a compelling story of ❤️ and loss 🌈.

Biggest Little Library Podcast

Amie Newberry and Tami Ruf are the creators of Biggest Little Library Podcast. Our podcast has a different episode theme each week: Celebrate the Stacks (thematic explorations of library book stacks), On the Fly (books found in interesting locations, about interesting locations or by authors from those interesting locations), Perfect Pairings (two books that compliment each other or that have chemistry), and finally, Book Bag (the eclectic reads from our personal book bags). We hope you join us each week as we discuss two books we know you’ll love hearing about and want to read!
