welcome back to the best i've ever read podcast! this week we talk about a very important book, from the ashes by jesse thistle. this episode is more serious as we get into topics involving the houseless population, Indigenous issues, drug and alcohol addiction, and poverty. please take care while listening.
before we get to the book, we chat about liv’s weekend in toronto (the 6 lol), kim’s new job in spain, celebrity sightings, and liv's first week of training for their half marathon. we also talk reading slumps and signing up with netgalley.com.
exciting news about this episode: we are hosting a giveaway (open to residents of canada and the usa)! four lucky listeners will receive a paperback copy of from the ashes. check out our instagram for more details: https://www.instagram.com/bestreadpodcast/
