Hannah and Laura are covering the first third of Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher and they are really starting to question if Harry Dresden should be allowed near children. It seems unwise for Michael to let him babysit. Hannah also influenced Laura to watch season 19 of Taskmaster, so they both gush over the contestants, Laura has a new favorite rom-com, and Hannah talks about how surprising it can be to read dark/deep themes in YA books as an adult.
