Ask-A-Badass HB 16: Caitlin K! Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Hey HBs! On this episode of Ask-A-Badass, Nat and Caitlin talk about the upside of long commutes, if audio books are actually reading, Girl Scouts (favorite cookie anyone?), reading goals, what to do when life hands you lemons and limes, and a very SLIPPERY *Bing, Boong, Bong*!

And join us on Monday, February 17th for Part 1 of The Bollywood Bride by Sonali Dev. It’s a beautiful second chance romance, but it comes with a whole passel of content warnings. Be careful if sexual assault, child abuse, severe mental health crises, mental health shaming, and gritty depictions of depression are triggering for you. It’s a very beautiful, but it’s a big angst as well.

Emily F., you are an occamy, a beautiful blue birdsnake that lays eggs of pure silver. You are very protective of your eggs, going to great lengths to both hide and defend them. Your most interesting ability is choranaptyxis, which is the ability to shrink or grow to fit any space. You can be as small as a thimble or as large as an ocean, depending on your mood. You’re the epitome of adaptation in action and that makes you both special and resilient.
