After the Bookmark is a podcast for readers who aren't ready to let go when the last page ends and the bookmark comes out. Each episode, I dive into middle grade and young adult books after the bookmark - exploring themes, characters, favorite moments, and my overall feelings and opinions after the cover is closed. From thoughtful reviews to honest opinions, this podcast is all about great books and what to read next. If you like discovering honest reviews and your next read, this is the podcast for you - because the story doesn't end after the bookmark comes out.
