    IAD 14 - MacRieve Part 1 (Bonus 300)

    Hey HBs! Oh boy! Thank you for being patient with me; I know this episode is hitting your feed a little late. My aunt's passing and the state of the country has thrown me into a bigger depressive slump than I originally thought and poor Sabrina is sick! As a result, we've gone into the vault and pulled out the bonus episodes we had in our metaphorical fridge. This is part 1 of MacRieve by Krelsey Cole! Later this week will be part 2, and then we'll have our Reading Embrace bonus episode coming out on January 23rd. And, after editing this audio, I think we might need to jump back into IAD soon. They're so fun! Be well you beauties, Mel
