Hi everyone and welcome to Battle and Paper podcast, I'm Olivia Mentor, and I'm Becca Freeman.

And today is our October Book Club episode and we are talking about The Quiet Tenant

by Clemons Michelin and we'll see how scared Becca was.

No, I liked it. I was less scared than I anticipated, so it's not for you for a good pick.

I'm excited to discuss it. But before we get into that, this episode is brought to you

by newly, the Clothing Rental Subscription Service we're both totally obsessed with.

We'll tell you more about them later in the episode, but that on paper listeners can

take $20 off your first month of newly when you sign up with the code, B-O-P-20. Olivia,

but a while since we talked, we pre-recorded last week's episode because you had an international trip.

And yes, we haven't talked in two weeks, so let's catch up on highs and lows.

Yeah, truly so much has happened. But for highs, my high is that I had my England trip.

I had another group trip. We were in London and then the Cotswolds and it was just like

the coolest group of people, by the way, couldn't stop singing your praises. There was copies of

the Christmas Orphans Club abound. It was just really, really, really lovely. And I just love

group travel so much. It really, I don't know, nourishes my soul. And I was also able to see

a couple old friends that I hadn't seen a long time. I saw my friend Curson's new house,

a new castle in the north of England. And I saw my college trend Charlotte. So it was just a really

nice, very busy, but very nice trip. What was your specific favorite activity or meal or

place? Like what was your drilling in? Well, with your highest high. Okay, so one day we spent

just exploring villages of the Cotswolds, places I'd never been before. And it was the perfect

sort of misty fall day. It's just the most magical place. Like I know it's kind of basic to love

this place, but like literally bury me in the Cotswolds. It's incredible. I can't wait to go back.
