Theoretically something like this should go up right after the show and in the same order as the guests, but in the real world …well, not so much since my intern called in sick. I eventually plan to get all of these up and have an easily navigable guide to all of the shows. They are not going up in particular order, but I am just getting to them as I have some free time. This time around it happened to be Julie.

I really enjoyed listening to Julie. I also like this highlight! Do you normally do this, or am I just living on another planet? Anyway, I like it!

Great wrap up!

Wow — this was so cool! I am just amazed by how many books we mentioned. I would have guessed three or four!
.-= Julie P.´s last blog ..Guest Blogger: Judi Fennell & Giveaway =-.
We probably wouldn’t have had as many but then you asked me about my best books of the year and the decade. That is where the real trouble started!
I love this Nicole! What a great idea. I wasnt able to listen to this one so seeing the breakdown and the topics makes me know I need to make time to listen to it!
.-= Sheila DeChantal´s last blog ..Morning Meanderings… =-.
I love that you have listed the books that were mentioned in the podcast! I’ve gone back and listened to two of the podcasts since I never seem to be able to do it “live”. Someday I plan to listen to them all. They are always so fun to listen to and I get lots of ideas for what to read!
