Number 1: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 508
On this week's episode Melanie and I are astounded by the bid day balloon art at the University of Arkansas, not to mention that Melanie teaches me some things about how to list clothes on Poshmark and she has approximately 48 TV show recommendations* since I am in a TV slump. *This is a slight exaggeration. I also rave a little bit about our latest Patreon book club book, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Number 2: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 509
Melanie and I were together in Nashville this past weekend, and on this episode we talk about all the fun we had at our friend Annie's wedding. We saw so many people we love, we did some really excellent shopping, and we also got in our feels a little bit because sometimes you get to have a moment (or an event) that reminds you - on a lot of levels - that life really is so rich and full and good. On top of all that, it's my turn for Five Favorites. Enjoy, everybody! Join Us on Patreon Our Amazon Shop Big Boo Dallas (11/5) tickets - about 10 left!

Number 3: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 507
This week Melanie and I are both awash in the most tender feelings about friendship, so Melanie shares all about her weekend at the lake with friends - and I share (part of) a poem, written back in the year of our Lord 1990, that Emma Kate recently discovered when she was cleaning out her parents' house. Also, Mel tells us about spending a day at the Hotel Emma pool with Caroline, we discuss that we're both in a rut with earrings, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Enjoy, everybody!

Number 4: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 506
On this episode I give an update on post-surgery Lucy, Melanie relays the details of a Lionel Richie concert, and we speculate maybe way too much about what Lionel's health concerns might be. We also talk about Melanie and Caroline's great decorative achievements with a gallery wall. On top of that, we discuss a current frustration I have with Amazon, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Number 5: The Big Boo Cast, Episode 504
On this week's episode, Melanie has been to Colorado, I have been at the house (hoping that our new dog will love us), and we've both been thinking about the upcoming college football season and SEC Media Days. We also discuss what we've been reading (I'm sad to say that I haven't watched a thing other than Bravo), and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!
