On this week’s episode Clare and I read I Like It Like That, the fifth book in Cecily Von Ziegesar’s Gossip Girl series. You can listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen. As a reminder, some of these links, including our Bookshop.org link, are affiliates.
This week I’ve been reading They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman, which it seems Halsey is slated to star in, and Clare’s been reading The Tawny Man series from Robin Hobb. Here’s a Wall Street Journal article about the NCAA Women’s March Madness Title IX situation we referenced.
This whole episode gives me “Best Friend’s Brother,” from Victorious vibes.
The speech impediment where you have a hard time pronouncing the letter R is called rhotacism (seems like a bad name given the condition).
If you’re wondering “how close of a cousin can I be before it’s incest?” this article doesn’t answer that but it does try to teach you what a second cousin is (which I still don’t understand).


If you’re looking to channel your inner ketamine user, you too can shop the Darien Sport Shop online.

You can still buy vintage leather ski boots if you want!
