Hi everyone, welcome back to Baton Paper Podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia

Mentor. And today we are talking about nostalgic reads that we read when we were kids and teenagers.

And we have lots of listener voice mails with what you read when you were a kid or a teenager.

Yeah, I loved hearing all of these voice mails and I love thinking about this topic lately a lot,

as I mentioned last week, so I think it's going to be good.

It's so interesting too because I was talking to my friend Ali last night who I'm on this trip

with right now. And the books that she said were most important to her in childhood, I never

heard of. So it's so interesting to hear the different things that people are into and

then to see which ones are the ones that are universal too. Yeah, there were so many that I had never heard of that all.

I know. So yeah. Before we get into it, should we do some highs and lows?

Yeah, talk to me about your high. Oh my God. My high is this trip, but more specifically, we went to

Ronda, which is a small city in southern Spain. It is magical. I have no idea how I'd never heard of it.

I have no idea how it's not more mainstream. It is the absolute prettiest place I have ever been.

Like it is just so pretty. The whole thing like part of it kind of looks like Santorini with like the white buildings

and like a little village setup. And then there's just like so much natural beauty.

It's on a cliff side and there's this like huge historic bridge. And even just looking at the buildings built on top of this gigantic

face is so incredible. My jaw was on the floor the whole time we were there. I'm ready to be called up. I'm a Ronda enthusiast and I'm ready.

I'm ready to offer my services as a Ronda spokesperson. It looked magical. Like totally different than anywhere I'd seen before.

This is me observing your Instagram post. So clearly, yes, I'm endorsing you for honorary citizen promoter of Ronda.

Oh my God. But it looked magical. Does that job exist? Sign me up. I think it does.

The other thing that was so wild about this place is when you go to somewhere that's a small town like this,

you kind of expect the food to be mediocre or you expect there to be one or two good restaurants.
