ashley and katherine are cousins, best friends, and major book lovers.

We've been reading books together for over ten years — trading recommendations, laughing a lot, and asking the only question that really matters: should I read that?

bookfare is what we've always done, just with a recording setup. Every episode we cover what we've each been reading, dig into book news, and do a deep dive on a book we read together that month. We have thoughts. We have opinions. We occasionally go completely off topic.

We're based in Chicago and New York. We are not sponsored by anyone. We just really like books.
