Happy New Year, listeners!! We're kicking off the first episode of 2021 with a very special guest: our amazing illustrator, Nicole! Her and Emily did a thicc buddy read to close out last year, so stay tuned to hear them tag-team that one on this ep. And before we get into books, we're diving into a great fishbowl question about what book we'd read over again for the first time and why.
