Send us a text

In today's episode I talk with booktuber CJ from  @CJ Reads and owner/operator of the new mobile bookstore, Sunny's Book Truck! We talk about her journey to becoming an entrepreneur, the joys and challenges of owning your own bookstore on wheels, and of course there's plenty of book talk! It's like a modern day "Parnassus on Wheels"! (Which if you haven't read it yet, check out the book by Christopher Morley!)
