How uncomfortable do you want to get today?
This week it’s all about what we’re reading, what we’re watching, and how we’re reading and watching it. Jenn is so far down Kindle road, she forgot how real books work (Kate: “You…hold it in your hands”). However you get words in your brain, the XOXOJK Book Club has got some preach-hands-emoji-worthy recommendations for you. And as Kate says, “The more books you read, the more books you will read.” Shhhh…just think about it. Then tune in and drop out with some TV. We talk Homeland, House of Cards, Girls, Game of Thrones, impossible-to-remember character names and the crazy crushable Peter Dinklage before segueing into a little politics…and gender politics. Can we get some preach-hands?

And trust me. I love that socialist muppet. He's all that is good and right in the world. I agree with him on lots and believe in him.
