Kathy & Judy's Radio Readers

Welcome to Kathy & Judy's Radio Readers book club. It's a pretty simple concept. Every other month or so, we will spend some time talking about a book that we've all read. The books will always be available in paperback, and they will NOT be interminably long.

Our 24th Radio Readers selection was made by KaTruth and Beauty: A Friendshipthy and is Truth and Beauty: A Friendship, by Ann Patchett. It's Ann's remembrance of her friendship with the late writer Lucy Grealey. Kathy picked it up because she so loved Patchett's Bel Canto (a past Radio Readers selection). It's difficult to say much about this book without giving away Kathy's response to it, but she thinks it's a great read for any one who has struggled with friendships that aren't simple.

Ann will join us on the air on Thursday, February 15th, so get reading!
