Hi, I'm Ssanyu and this is the Book Junkie podcast, presented by Brown Kids Read! I made this for people who LOVE reading diverse YA literature, but also for those who don't enjoy reading much at all. My goal is to convince you to read more books! Through a variety of different episode formats, I, along with my friends and other teenagers who want to use their voice, will discuss themes, characters, plot, and most importantly, how the story connects to the real world. Hopefully, through our conversation, you can learn something new!
