47. February Book Club: A River Enchanted

This episode contains spoilers for A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross starting at time stamp 17:25 and ending around 36:00.

Join us as we chat about our February book club, A River Enchanted. This whimsical, mysterious fantasy is full of Scottish folklore and is such an atmospheric read. We know that it wasn't for everybody, but we enjoyed the change of pace from the high stakes fantasy we've been spending a lot of time on this year (Micaela did not approve this statement).

We are very excited (intrigued?) to see what all of the hype is about and read Bride by Ali Hazelwood with you in March!
