This week we have a very special episode for you. Every year, hosts Kaytee and Meredith bring in all the co-hosts to play a fun bookish game. This year, they are joined by Elizabeth Barnhill, Mary Heim and Roxanna Kasam Kara. The game is called Consensus or Chaos, where each host brings a bookish opinion, and they score and discuss whether they agree or not. Let us know on our socials which opinions you agree or disagree with!
Show notes are time-stamped below for your convenience. Read the transcript of the episode (this link only works on the main site).
