In this episode, Nicole and Gayle get together in person (yay!). As usual, tradition put 8 books they read last year against each other in inverted order. That is, Gayle's #1 goes against Nicole's #8.
Coincidentally, this is episode 8 of Season 8!! Vote for the Sweet Sixteen Contest! (Link was removed as we're voting for the next round)
