Reading Envy 087: Going Native with Bookclub Social

What is it about online book clubs? Grace and Amanda were curious too, and decided to do a formal anthropological study. Jenny was one of their informants, and she thought it would fun to hear about the study, their experiences, and what they have learned so far. At about 25 minutes in, we also talk about books we have read recently, so there should be something for everyone.
