Books Unbound

We've reunited to celebrate making 100 episodes! How has the time flown!? We've been making our beloved Books Unbound for two years now (and as we realize when recording, we've known each other for 10 years this September!) and were celebrating the fun with some exciting updates, a special book haul, and a big Q&A, while Raeleen visits Ariel in Nova Scotia! Check out our new merch! https://store.d...

We did a buddy read this week and things didn’t go as hoped… but we also read other books and, of course, bought some new ones. Plus Ariel gets a pardon from the Queen!
