Ok, friends, Jade and I had a LOT of fun this week! AND we invented a new game! You'll hear all about it, if you keep listening, but we've decided to call it American Rugby. It's a mix of all the American sports that are boring all by themselves to watch (well, at least according to yours truly) and adds a bit of British spice to what could otherwise be just another football game. I hope you enjoy!Of course, we talk about books aplenty, so you'll want to stick around for that, too!

I hope you enjoy!Ben's debut novel, Mind in the Crowds, releases in just a few weeks, so be sure to check it out! You can also hang out with Ben on Twitter @BMHairston.

My life doesn't always revolve around books, even when I wish it could. I love the bookish lifestyle, and I love talking to my friends about books. Each episode will have either a guest, or some book reviews, or some other fun stuff.
