Join us for a spoiler free episode this week! We're playing a fun little game where we answer which character from the SJM or Harry Potter Universe would best fit the question. Which caracter would max out their credit card? Who is likely the end up in jail after a night out? What meal would you make if you were cooking for Rhysand and Draco Malfoy? Admittedly, our answers were more of a reflection of our favorite Slytherin characters that you get to know the more Dramione fanfics you read, so we used this as another opportunity to remind you that it is time to jump on the train if you haven't yet.

Reminder: Next week we're talking about our November book club pick, The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston. There is still time to read and join us in our discussion next week!
