Lani's Library

Yulani S.
29 episodes   Last Updated: Aug 13, 23
Meet your new book bestie Yulani. On the podcast, Yulani talks about books she's read, wants to read, liked and didn't like, book boyfriends, book theories, and her favorite quotes and moments in literature. If you ask Yulani what she loves most in life - other than her books, reading, and the local library - she would probably say her word search puzzles, elderly dog (whom she's allergic to), vegetable garden, grandparents, and sunhats. Most of all, she loves reading and will share her love for books with everyone she knows.
