This week, the girls are joined by none other than Brady Lockerby, bookish influencer, TikTok sensation, and lover of all things emotionally devastating (one of her fav authors is Kristin Hannah after all). From bookish content to everything in between, Brady has built a community unlike most other bookish influencers! In this episode, she dives into her journey as a reader, her favorite memoirs and authors, advice for anyone wanting to grow a social media following, and more. Get your Goodreads, Fable, or whatever bookish app you use ready, because Brady gives out some killer book recs in this episode! You'll love her just as much as Reggie, Mikayla, & Kennedy do after this episode!
