Welcome everyone to dolls of our lives. This is the podcast where we're reliving the American Girl series book by book except here on Patreon or we're

doing whatever you tell us or we decide. I'm Mary. I'm Allison. And wow, Allison, what a month you and I have had like truly wild. We're going to talk about our book coming out,

answered listener questions about our book and get into all kinds of stuff but first

how are you doing how's things I'm doing great I mean it's been busy I feel like

this is the closest to the edge.

Like usually we think about Patreon for months and months

and we've read a book and we've talked about it

and this time it's like, okay,

so we are talking about our book, which is very different. It's surreal in a way I mean in a way it's like there was way

more preparation for this episode but yeah we are cutting a little close we wanted to give

people time to read it and check it out and come up with questions. But yeah, it's been a really crazy month and you know, I know we're both so appreciative of everyone who's reached out about the book and came to some of our events events which we'll talk about.

And yeah, I'm just excited to talk about it.

But first, you know, what are you taking in?

What are you watching?

What are you reading?

So I have been very interested in an HBO documentary called Love Has One,

the cult of Mother God, which is about a woman named Amy Carlson who kind of dared to ask the

question like what if God was a girl boss who

drank silver and sadly what sadly much like drink silver she was drinking

silver estimates upwards of close to a leader a day,

you shouldn't do that.

So I'll put that on the table.
