Hey, I’m Claire - self proclaimed book nerd. And I’m Julie - streaming obsessed. This is, But the Book Was Better. In this podcast, we’ll be reading books, then watching their screen adaptations. We’ll cover some classics and some of the newer stuff everyone is talking about. Sometimes we’ll be talking about shows, sometimes movies - it all depends. Yea, let’s get wild! We’ll break down each book… And ultimately, we’ll debate which was better. It’ll be the book, it’s always the book. Well, they’ll have to tune in to find out!
