SBU Ep 5: BR Ch 8: Adventuring
7/1/2020
Ah, Chapter 8, Adventuring. As you will soon hear, this is my favorite chapter. I read it on holidays, with my family. We laugh, we cry, we sit in silence enraptured by its wonder. Resting! Vision! How much food you need to eat every SINGLE day! This chapter has it all, and it especially has the annoying parts! It's great.
