Always Only You with Sara Mueller
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Because you are super hot!
Yes, this is a very corny way to start this post, but this week’s episode features the pod’s first romance novel, and it was recorded on a very HOT summer day. This weekI am talking about Always Only You by Chloe Liese with Sara Mueller. Sara is a library assistant manager and has been working in libraries for 11 years. An avid reader since she could learn to put words together, Sara loves sharing her passion for books with anyone who will listen. She is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic who enjoys romance novels - the steamier the better - as well as thrillers, mysteries, and literary works. Sara is a plant mom with an ever growing brood of plant babies and often spends her free time at her favorite garden-center finding new plants to adopt. She dreams of one day owning an alpaca farm and having a personal library with its own rolling shelf ladder.
We paired the novel with Sangria, which you can really make so many ways, but here is my recipe for a pitcher to share with friends:
Sangria
1 bottle red wine
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brandy
1 Apple, chopped
1 Peach, chopped
I recommend letting it blend in the fridge for a few hours before serving so the fruit soaks up the liquid.

Towards the end of the episode Sara and I discuss books that use Autism in characters as a plot device. As neither Sara or I have Autism, I wanted to share thoughts on this subject from someone who does.
