1.10 Books Featuring Plays

Happy 10th episode! This week, I’m discussing why I love books that feature plays, and recommending some of my favourite books that do so! I talk about Shakespeare and Jane Austen, but also a graphic novel and a middle-grade. Please let me know if you can think of any more books featuring plays that I might enjoy!
