Hello guys! We're back after an unscheduled hiatus. We hope you missed us because we missed you! In this episode, we dive right in and tell you about a bunch of creeptastic and cutetastic books! Karla embodies Stefon from SNL in her description of her first book. Alex is not moved to agree to read it. Alex goes into a memory despair spiral and Karla internally wonders if she's a normal human during the Unworthy description. Guess what- we don't talk about food in this book as it pertains to our personal tastebuds- that might be a first.

In this episode we discuss a bajillion books so we rapid fire through some of them. Alex shares crappy news and Karla tries to perk her up. Karla wants you to know that there is a thread between work performance reviews and cilantro. It’s just that the thread is thin and exists only in her head. They go into deep space with two books, they agree on how they’d prefer to die should they encounter a vampire, and Alex supports Karla in mispronunciation. Isn’t that what friendship is all about?
