If you are reading this, there is a good chance you enjoy reading fantasy books. You may also like talking about fantasy books… or at least listening to others talk about them.
This week, Calvin Park (from Under a Pile of Books) and David Walters (from Authors on a Podcast Talking Books) stopped by the Fantasy Inn to talk about how they talk about books. How exactly does one write a review? And how does the relatively formal structure of written book reviews differ from a podcast or BookTube format?
