It’s #ReadInTheBathTubDay! We’ve got some great audiobooks to keep you company while you relax: Jack Tales of various lengths, spooky stories, and Kate Story’s URCHIN (which we recommend breaking up between several baths, but to each their own!) runningthegoat.com/collections/...

An illustration from Jack and the Green Man. Jack perches on the edge of a giant's clawfoot bathtub, combing the giant's hair. Jack is a young, white man in green pants, and a green cap. The bathtub is so big, he has had to climb a ladder to get the the rim. The giant is fully submerged in the tub, with just his nose and forehead above the water. Some of his long blue hair is draped over the side of the tub
