WAY back in the day (Episode 11, to be exact!), we played Would You Rather with some bookish questions, and we decided it was time to bring it back for Episode 185! A huge thank-you to everyone who submitted questions! We had so much fun answering them, and clearly, you know us well because so many of your questions revolved around Alchemised and just how much we disliked it. Needless to say, your submissions gave us a good laugh! Be sure to grab a copy of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and join us for our October Book Club!

We're crossing our fingers that next month's book club, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, will treat us a little better.
