Jen and Sarah read two of Alice's favourite books (not all-time faves; more on that in the episode!), The Time Traveller's Wife and The Poisonwood Bible. They share their thoughts on that and discuss the issues brought up in the two novels, as well as what they've each currently been reading.
There are no major plot spoilers in the discussion of the two novels, although we do discuss the plot in broad terms. This episode has chapter markers so you can skip the sections if you would like (If your app doesn't have chapter markers - Time Traveller's Wife discussion starts at 14:31 and Poisonwood Bible at 33:55!).
