April can feel like the longest month of the year - we’re so, so close to Spring, but winter just keeps coming back, and coming back for more. And where can people relate to this more than at the site of this month’s HERsay Podcast x Barnes & Noble Book Picks episode recording - Buffalo NY! Each month, the HERsay Podcast selects the genres, and a bookseller from Barnes & Noble somewhere in the country selects titles from their vast knowledge of books available in all genres. They know better than anyone else what’s new and exciting on their shelves, the hidden gems, the enduring favorites - choosing for us the books they think women will love this month. Books purchased from hersaypodcast.com in April go to Buffalo City Mission’s Women and Children’s Shelter - working to end the root causes of poverty and homelessness in Buffalo. Listen now!
