The Book Riot Podcast, Episode #37: Everything Was a Surprise

This week, Jeff and guest-host Amanda Nelson talk about a “human” library, the idea of Wal-Mart buying Barnes & Noble, the growth of the publishing industry over the last few years, the bad state of teenager leisure reading, new books, and more. This episode is sponsored by Audible and BookBub.
