Courtnei Listens to a Man’s (Steve’s) Opinion for Once
Episode Two - Courtnei Listens to a Man’s (Steve’s) Opinion for Once Join Courtnei and Steve, two very chatty librarians who can and will talk about anything and everything, especially books, as they try to stay on topic with some help from the mysterious Erin. In their second episode, Steve shares that competitive boxing just isn’t for him, and Courtnei is still deep in her women’s sports era. And of course Steve shares a few more bummer books, and Courtnei shares a few not-so-bummer books before they dive deep into the novel that almost everyone is reading or has read, Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. Tune in to the next episode to see if Steve was able to get all of his thoughts out in one episode, or not.
