A Roar of Readers on Radio Book

Aestivation is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, although taking place in the summer rather than the winter. It happens during times of heat and dryness, often in the summer months. On the latest Radio Book Club, hear about the latest titles our hosts are devouring during summer aestivation. They include poetry, old works, and literary treasures at the bottom of the ocean. Plus, what’s a good collective noun for readers? All that and more on the latest Radio Book Club!
