Advertise on podcast: Ten Pages In

Description

While getting past the first ten pages of a book might not seem difficult, finishing the book is a different story. Some stories are a task to complete; others are worth every page, yet the first ten pages never determine whether they'll be your new favourite (or waste of time). Join me as I figure out the joys and pains of reading on my podcast: Ten Pages In, where I talk about four or more books every month around a theme or genre.
