Season 5, Episode 11: The Magic of Bookish Friends + Reading with Guests Around

Bookish Moments: a bit of bookish magic and a pre-order wish fulfilled
Current Reads: great books that we couldn’t wait to discuss with each other
Deep Dive: how do we manage having guests and still making time to read?
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
