rich 1.0 It's been a FULL and COMPLETE WEEK since Melanie and I last talked, so on this episode we catch up about college baseball, college softball, the weddings we attended over the weekend, and my introduction to a very different (and fun) (and physically exhausting) (but really so fun) side of book publishing. We also discuss our new book club pick for Patreon, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Enjoy, everybody!
