This episode welcomes Lindo Forbes as our guest host for the night so please give her a warm welcome. I don’t think she knew what she was in for when she placed her bid 😆. We auctioned off an episode for Romance for Maui with proceeds going to local Maui organizations to help provide relief due to the wildfires Hawaii is experiencing. Our contribution included some lucky person who could pick a book and then guest host an episode with the two of us crazy ladies. And that lucky (or not as the case may be 😂) is Lindo Forbes. You can find her below:

First off, welcome back, Trigger Tribe! We are so excited to be recording once more. We’ve missed y’all as well as each other during our hiatus, but baby, we’re back! We hope to maintain a more regular recording schedule over the summer while Tori is out of class. This week we did an impulse recording on Drethi Anis’s 5,000 Nights of Obsession. We both read it separately as it just came out, and we loved it so much we just had to talk about it, so why not record the conversation? I do want to make one correction for a mistake in the recording. We continually use sociopath instead of psychopath when we’re discussing Axel, and the correct term is psychopath. Lots of well researched reasons for that, but we made a mistake so I wanted to address it. Now, on to the episode!

P.S: We apologize for the weird echo on Tori's side of the recording, we've been having some technical difficulties with her microphone and are hoping to have it all fixed for the next episode.
