Hi everyone,
Just a quick word from Rob and Kate: with work commitments during the week and also planning our wedding in November, we’ve decided to take a break from the weekly podcast. We may well pop back if something catches our eye but for the moment we expect the podcast to return in 2019.
We’ll still be talking about books on Twitter and Goodreads and posting some blogs here on Adventures With Words.
A big thank you to all our listeners and we’ll be back soon!
Rob and Kate
We’ve been taking a bit of a break from the podcast but we’re happy to say that not only will it be back next but we’ve also decided to return to its original weekly format!
We’re both looking forward to sharing what we’ve been reading, the latest book news and what we’re looking forward to reading with you all once more!
