Episode 39: Book Club - Throne of the Crescent Moon

In this week's episode, the girls take a moment to squee over their latest squee-worthy items.  Espana has a special announcement to make. And then, the girls review the book, Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. (WARNING: There are spoilers in this podcast!).

Unfortunately, the girls talked a bit too long about the book, so there's no crafting in this episode, but they'll make up for it next time.
