This series is one of my dearest friends favorite. Sheโ€™s brought it up many times over the years and while I love to read, I just canโ€™t commit to so many looooong books!! But Iโ€™ve loved the show so far so maybe I should try the books finally. Thankful for this podcast that gets right where Iโ€™m at :)
