On this episode, Joe and Emma play a little game of Borrow, Buy, Bin, a bookish take on the infamous game, Snog, Marry, Avoid. They’ve provided each other with authors to choose from, but without knowing what the books will be, Emma and Joe have to decide if they’re going to Borrow the book for a little bit, Buy it to add to the collection at home, or put it in the donate Bin!
