Welcome to a special Galentine's/Valentine's Day episode! We love love – whether that is platonic, familial, romantic, or beyond. We hope this is a reminder to share some love to your community, book besties, and books! Eternally grateful for you. ❤️

P.S. Please don't mind some typos in the closed captions... We (Alexandra) was frantically trying to get this up in time for the holiday and are still working out the best system. Appreciate your understanding and support!
