Books to Fill You Up – Radio Book Club

Get cozy! Your hosts at Radio Book Club are back with an extra-special episode full of reads that will fill your wintry appetite. From special cookbooks, to delicious poetry, and that perfect dash of humor. Plus, a taboo question – have you ever watched a film that is better (gasp!) than the book? Hosts are Shari Zollinger and Andy Nettell from Back of Beyond Books, and Jessie Magleby from the Grand County Public Library.
