Welcome to episode 3 of the Westmoreland Podcast!

In this episode we discuss our favorite books of all time, giving honorable mention to those childhood favorites we continually re-read, and this episode is heavy on book series mentions, so fair warning! We also allow ourselves a tangent to discuss hijacked sneezes and yawns, staying true to our belief that you truly can learn something new every day (timestamps for the tangent are 13:03-14:26, just in case you want to skip it and stick with the book talk...we won’t be offended).

Stuff We Missed…
So, City of Ghosts is not part of the same series as A Darker Shade of Magic, by VE Schwab. Oops. Also, the “LEGO Ideas” page is actually a page where anyone can propose set ideas to LEGO for creation...so that’s cool. This section of show notes could be called “welcome to the podcast where we are excited and make mistakes. It's great to be human!" ;)
