Welcome to the seventeenth episode of the Tea in the Treetops podcast hosted by Philippa and Angelya.
In this episode we chat about the trends for YA in 2015, about some Aussie Christmas books for kids, as well as books that we have been reading. You can also hear Miss Maddie having a chat in the background. Apologies for the lesser sound quality than usual, we were using a backup microphone. This episode was recorded on December 10th 2014.
