Although we were due a book club episode this week - busy schedules have meant we have to postpone another week. Don't worry The Midnight Library will be read.

This week we just have a general chit chat about how we're getting on these last couple months in lockdown - how we are keeping ourselves inspired and Ciara's new found love for Miranda Hobbes.

Oddly Enough - We offer some remedies to the dreaded book hangover.
