19. You Should Read: The Weight of the Stars and The Wicker King (with author K. Ancrum!)

We are so delighted to share this interview from one of our favorite authors, K. Ancrum! While most of the episode is the three of us flailing about The Wicker King and The Weight of the Stars, we also have side discussions on Chipotle and how it can sometimes be used as a tool for vengeance, found families, her beautiful author notes and acknowledgments and so much more.

Also, "What You Should Eat" makes an appearance and the bread recipe Kayla recommends sounds so easy that even Kelly could make it. (Maybe. We probably shouldn't encourage the attempt.)
