Meet the Club
Emily Stanfill Bunnell, (EmStanBun) lives in “Vacay-ville" California with her Air Force husband and four children. They’ve lived in such places as England, Maryland, rural Oklahoma, Florida, and now California. Emily homeschools three of her four children, her eldest venturing into public school for the first time this year. She misses him. She is tender-hearted and can cry with a happy ending, a sad ending, or sometimes just for a book with lots of feelings. Emily spends her time homeschooling, playing in a local orchestra, cooking, eating, hiking, camping, reading, and traveling as much as possible. She received her BA from BYU in Humanities, and her MA from BYU in Comparative Studies with an emphasis in the Early Modern period. Her favorite escape is reading, traveling, and eating good things.

Podcaster
Janelle Morris is affectionately referred to as one-speed-Nelly by her family. She savors her food, loves a stroll outside, and has a hard time finishing a book unless she is listening to it at 1.25 speed. She lives in northern Virginia with her army reservist husband and their three daughters. Every Halloween they don a family themed costume. Janelle is a retired Spanish teacher, a meat smoker, and finds cutting hair strangely therapeutic. She received her BA from BYU in English and her MA from George Wythe College in Leadership Education, where she wrote her thesis on escapism. Podcasting suits her insatiable need to know more, and is her newest favorite escape. Her others are singing while playing the guitar, visiting her sister Shauna, book clubbing, and floating down rivers. She falls in love with life easily, as well as fictitious men and dead poets.

Podcast Host
Ann Marie Dalton is the mother of four rambunctious beasties parading as boys, and she loves them fiercely. She and her husband live in northern Virginia, where she enjoys running in the woods, gardening, cooking, eating all that cooking, reading, and hosting book club events. She has lived on four continents and loves to travel to new places. She received her BA from BYU in Humanities, and her MA in Humanities from Penn State Harrisburg, specializing in Victorian art, culture, and literature. She has a thing for cemeteries and tombstone iconography--the older the better--and loves a good ramble through a Puritan graveyard when in New England. Her favorite escape is being outside in fall weather.
