This month, Laura & Allison are taking a deep dive on Lisa Marie Presley. Allison loves a memoir and Laura loves Elvis (Presley & her cat), so this pick was a recipe for a good book club. This episode is spoiler free for the first 25 minutes! PS: Don't hate Allison for her HP Hot Takes. That's all she asks.

Allison & Laura (finally) finished All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker and were not disappointed, to say the very least. A very wise Allison once stated, “This is the next Demon,” only 20 pages into this story. Neither Allison nor Laura disagree with Allison’s former self. This book broke their hearts a handful of times, then restored them. Listen to them gab in excruciating detail on this episode. No spoilers for the first 20!    If you love us, be like us!

SPOILER FREE: Listen to Laura & Allison gab about all the things: Cross country moves, crappy flights (literally), and of course, books. Laura is heavy into her Chicago Marathon training so yep, more smutty audio suggestions coming to you this month. Allison actually had time to read more than a magazine cover and shares her takes on FOUR titles. It's a unique mix to say the least. What Laura Read: + Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass #3) by Sarah J Maas + Heartless (Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver + The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand + Fangirl Down (Big Shots #1) by Tessa Bailey +...
