| 33. Which Character Would? | 22 Nov 2023 | 00:34:20 | |
Join us for a spoiler free episode this week! We're playing a fun little game where we answer which character from the SJM or Harry Potter Universe would best fit the question. Which caracter would max out their credit card? Who is likely the end up in jail after a night out? What meal would you make if you were cooking for Rhysand and Draco Malfoy? Admittedly, our answers were more of a reflection of our favorite Slytherin characters that you get to know the more Dramione fanfics you read, so we used this as another opportunity to remind you that it is time to jump on the train if you haven't yet.
Reminder: Next week we're talking about our November book club pick, The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston. There is still time to read and join us in our discussion next week!

During this episode we'll share our June reads and ratings (this month was much better than May) and what we're looking forward to reading next.

Please enjoy this SPOILER FREE episode of the It Gets Good podcast! Join us for our first monthly wrap up episode! We'll be going through all of the books we read during the month of May by rating and sharing what we loved and didn't love so much. It was the weirdest reading month for Kyleigh, who had TWO 1-star ratings, Micaela only read four books, which is not the norm for her & Hannah had a handful of 5-star reads because she is better at picking books than Kyleigh is, clearly. P.S. Apologies if you hear a wild Murphy barking in the background here and there – he just wanted to say hi!
