Episode 373 || Literary Therapy, vol. 16
This week on From the Front Porch, it’s time for another episode of Literary Therapy! Every few weeks, Annie listens to your literary hangups and bookish conundrums, and much like fictional Frasier Crane in the 90s, she tackles your issues on air. If you have your own reading riddle you’d like her to solve in a future issue, leave a voicemail at the From the Front Porch website.
