For our book club this month, we decided to tackle our first Stephen King novel - 11/22/63. It was a LONG one that dragged in a few parts but overall gave us a lot to think about. Micaela was given permission to skip this month after we quickly realized there was no way she was making it through the 30 hour audiobook. We did all watch the mini-series on netflix so tune in to hear our thoughts abou...

This episode is a mix of honest takes, a little chaos, and yes… even a few emotional good...
