Laura is reading Diamond Fire by Ilona Andrews  She started rereading Red, White, and Royal Blue.  She and Jude are obsessed with the show Deadloch and have watched it twice.

Jude has read a lot of questionable romance novels and some locked room mysteries that have all blurred into one because he’s jetlagged and his brain is mush. He is also relistening to Red, White and Royal Blue because Laura is the boss of him.
