We are so excited to talk to another co-hosts mother on today’s episode: Libby’s mom, AKA Connie! She’s been part of the same book club for quite some time, and she’s joining us today to tell us the secret to making a book club last, her favorite reading drink, and her favorite child! Just kidding, she loves them all equally. We’re also chatting tattoos - whether we love them, have them, want them. Libby’s mom, famously anti-tattoo, weighs in. Then, we’re sharing some quick Fan Club announcements along with our eternal gratitude for all of our fan’s support. You are all incredible and we’ve been crying happy tears all week since we launched the Pateron. Finally, we’re diving into our recent reads - so many good ones this time around, get ready to add to your TBR. Read on for buy links, and check out our website for info on our new MERCH!
