Hello fellow ink drinkers! Today Belle has gone down a rabbit hole of watching videos of different creators talking about the state of Book Tok and how it seems to be creating a culture of anti-intellectualism. We had our own thoughts about this topic, so we wanted to weigh in. NOTE: No ill will is intended to any of these creators we have talked about. We recognize that they are allowed to have different opinions just as we are. As promised, here are the links to the videos we have mentioned in this episode:

Hello fellow ink drinkers! Today I am discussing a book to movie comparison of "The BFG" by Roald Dahl.
As a note: in the episode I do say that you may want to skip ahead at one point. Let me give some context now. There was one part of the movie that wasn't in the book that I found a little weird and it kinda bothered me. I'm not normally one to get triggered by things, so I wanted to throw out a warning. Nothing actually bad happens but it is just a situation that I found to be strange to include in a kids' movie. If you are sensitive to some topics, then when you hear my say to skip ahead, skip to 15:40.

Hello fellow ink drinkers! Today Belle and I are going to talk about the "Bronte Murder Theory" as Belle likes to call it.

There isn't very much but wanted to throw out a warning just in case.
