- Episode 17 - Blind Date with a Book
Since it's still the month of love, we took a leap and asked our friends to set us up on a blind date... with a book. We had them pick books they think we'd like and give us 2-3 sentences describing it. We both lucked out, the books were amazing! Shout out to Susie and Libby the real MVPs of this episode. If you ever want to go on a blind date with a book, shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll hook you up!

1 hr 6 min - Episode 16 - Authors of Color
In honor of Black History Month here in the US we each chose books by authors of color. Kristia's author didn't read his first book until he was SEVENTEEN and her book takes place in the span of 60 seconds! Rachael's book is a debut autobiographical novel for her author that explores the surreal experience of having a fractured self. TW: there is mention of rape and self harm in R's retelling of this story, as always we'll give you notice beforehand so you can skip ahead. Audio Note: Apologizes for the poor sound quality on K's end, her usual recording space slightly flooded and she had to make due with some changes.
