Another highlight for me was Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. Another rec from a friend, I freaking loved this book!! The WEIRDEST book I have ever read, but my god, I loved these characters and the relationships between them. The writing was just chef’s kiss, and it was a beautiful story

I’m halfway through and just loving the dreamy romance happening. So excited for this episode, these three are ridiculously entertaining together!
We had a ridiculously good time recording the Wizard & Glass Deep Dive.

Last time I was this excited to release an episode, it was King himself.

House Sparrows live here year round and they often nest in our yard. They are wonderful parents and are constantly hunting bugs to feed their babies. This female paused a moment while looking for bugs in the flowering apple tree!
