Today, we’re letting out a bit of wanderlust with a fishbowl question about our travel bucket lists - which is especially timely since Becky and Kayla returned from a trip to France recently. A couple reminders before we get into it: join Kayla’s fan club book club chat about her pick for the month, which is *drumroll* Always, In December by Emily Stone! Book club is on December 27, so mark your calendars. Also! Just a heads up that we’re taking our (first ever and much needed) break in January 2022. No new eps, but stay tuned to the Patreon where we’ll continue hanging out, AND we’ll be rereleasing some fun throwback episodes every Monday in January 2022. Jump in and listen to how far we’ve come since the beginning of the pod :) and finally, what you’re actually here for: the books! We’re covering some fun ones in this ep. THANK YOU for listening!
