140. November Book Club: Mate

We're back with our November wrap up (a little late) for today's episode! Hannah read a surprising 13 books, Kyleigh finished her tracker with 9, and Micaela kept her spot on the podcast by reading 1 book. Hopefully we can finish out December with a few more good books?! We desperately need a win!   Don't forget to join us for our December book club, Good Spirits by BK Borison!   Currently Reading: Belladonna by Adalyn Grace Brimstone by Callie Hart Good Spirits by BK Borison Yours for the Season by Emily Stone Merrily Ever After by Catherine Walsh

We talk through our comparisons to Bride, and we also give some F1 updates.    Currently Reading: Belladonna by Adalyn Grace Brimstone by Callie Hart The Correspondent by Virginia Evans The Simple Wild by K.A.
