In Season 6 Episode 5 of the LDSWBR Podcast, Shanda, Sheila and Mindy ask the question “What makes you stop reading a book?” They discuss what issues bother them enough to stop reading and share answers from followers posted on the LDSWBR Facebook page and Twitter. At only 20 minutes long, it’s one of the shorter LDSWBR podcasts. Look forward to more of these quick episodes in the future, including our 2012 Favorite Reads and Holiday Gift Guide. Thank you for listening. Enjoy!
