Hey HBs! We're here with our first Nora Roberts book, THE VILLA! It's winerytimes and the Giambelli matriarch is here to shake up with corporate structure! But also intrigue and murder with no less than 3,000 characters. And in this head-hopping 3rd person book, everyone (and we mean EVERYONE) gets a POV moment. Plus, not one but two romances!Bonus Content: Pebbling as a love language, Treat Lifestyle, whimsying math, and so much more!A note on audio: Mel's audio is wonky in the first 40 mins of this episode, but vastly improves after that! So sorry, tech issues have been figured out for future eps.Lady Loves: Mel: Pebbling! Sometimes it's all I can manage. Sabrina: Find a new routine when something's not working. S needed a new trigger to get her into "work mode" now that she's full-time WFH and putting on a tiny bit of makeup is helping her do that! Thank you to this week's sponsor!
