Welcome to the 11th episode of the Tea in the Treetops podcast hosted by Philippa and Angelya.

In this episode, we give some suggestions for things to consider when starting or joining a book club, we jointly review Masquerade by Kylie Fornasier and also do mini-reviews for All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. We also talk about what we’ve been reading and what we are reading to our kids.

We hope you enjoy listening and we would love to hear your feedback – anything you would like us to talk about in particular? Just let us know!
