The Queens embark on their very first side quest! In this episode, we're reading Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki. We're also finding out everything we ever wanted to know about violins, devils, aliens, and donut shops in California. As we follow the twists and turns of this truly chaotic story, expect Queen Marissa to nerd out about violins, Queen Tay discuss an impactful moment, and Queen Alix fall deeply in love with aliens. In other words, join your favourite Queens on this side quest as they read Chapter 1 to the end of Chapter 18 of Light from Uncommon Stars.

At the end of the podcast, your Queens shoutout their fave and least fave characters. They also play a brand new game called Souls for Sale.
