O Should Know

River Reader Book Reviews

The River Readers like to read and review all different types of books, from historical fiction to pure fiction, like The Secret. Sometimes, they have great ideas for a beach read, in season, or suggest something for the holidays!

River Readers, Piper Sauer and Stephanie Worrell (www.oshouldknow.com creator/writer), are actual volunteers to this literary effort brought to you every Wednesday morning with Ken and Tim on Boise-based 94.9 “The River.”  The goal is to inform while entertaining with each review, and sometimes, they may change your mind about a book you never otherwise would have considered picking up. If you do want to grab one of their suggestions for yourself, simply stop by the River Reader display at Borders Bookstore in Boise Towne Square Mall.
