## Resource

Oh boy! Things are getting serious around the Bookish Buzz offices, but we're still going to have a few laughs and great conversation. On today's episode we discuss some of the more recent controversies surrounding author's and platforms in the bookish industry. How can we continue to appreciate the books and series we love, whilst separating ourselves from author's and platforms that have become problematic and toxic. We also discuss the rising price of books, some great audiobook platform choices and show some love for the libraries that are the backbone of our communities. Put in those earbuds and turn up the volume. Episode 5 is here!
