The Pond Gets Loud is a collection of collaborative series where The Quiet Pond invites book bloggers to talk about a particular topic and share their unique experiences. Bao, the Pond’s resident corgi, loves collecting different responses to promote awareness, transparency, and greater understanding among the community.
This is now a retired feature. We will not be hosting future ‘The Pond Gets Loud’ posts, though you are free to read through our old posts.
