So please enjoy these last couple of episodes that are hosted by amazing guest hosts like today's featuring two extremely funny friends
0:23.4	talking about a book that I could not wait to read. So I'm so happy I get to listen to this
0:28.3	episode myself. And if you still want some episodes from me, only hosted by me, all of those
0:34.2	went up on the Patreon as bonus episodes or on Apple subscriptions, and you can

1:34.2	book clubbing, told you so, by Macy Neely, published in the current hell of October 2025. And I think
1:41.6	this was ghost written by a woman named Allie Glass Cats, as she is thanked in the credits for shaping the story.
1:48.0	And then I went to her website and she is a ghost writer.
1:50.5	Now, you know Macy either from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu or her TikTok videos with her mom-talk girlies that turned into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu.
2:00.1	This book has everything on your Mormon bingo card,
