BOOK CHAT WITH ANGIE MIALE

Now I am joined by a fellow book lover who is doing great work when it comes to reviews and just recommendations all across Bookstagram. Angie, Angie, how are you? I'm great, Sydney. Thanks for having me on the show. Well, thank you for coming on and taking time to chat with us today. So before we get into a couple of your favorite books right now, tell us a little bit about who you are, where you're from, and what sparked your interest in reading. Sure, I am from Des Moines, Iowa. Originally from Pittsburgh. Grew up in Pittsburgh, but I've been living here in Des Moines for 18 years now. And my mom was a kindergarten teacher, and she always had a rule growing up that she would never say no to a book. And she said no to a treat often, and she said no to a toy often, but she'd never say no to a book. So I think that that kind of sparked an initial love of reading, and now it's how I spend most of my free time. No, I love how we all kind of get our love for reading from our moms. And then it's like, you know, we might take a couple years off, you know, as you get older and get into school, and then we always find our way back, you know, to what we love most. And so what would you say if you had to choose a book?
