  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just finished A Court of Thorns and Roses
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: because I was like, I like to read books that have,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you know, gone super popular, and I didn't read anything
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: about it before I started it, and I'm just like,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: this is this is just Beauty and the Beast with fairies.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is pretty amazing.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: This is what this is because there's so many similarities.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Because in the if you ever have read the original
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Beauty and the Beast, not just seeing the Disney movie,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: she has a couple of sisters in it who aren't
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: very nice to her. So it starts out with her
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and her dad or sisters who aren't very nice, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: then this beast like creature takes her away to a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: castle and she's trapped there and she's supposed to say
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I love you to him, and like all this stuff,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, how is this possible? And then like
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I googled it because I was like what, and it's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I'm like, oh, okay,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: because you know that's a thing that happens, and I'm like, okay,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that like it's said, you know, like not
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: just a ripoff where it's like, no, this is original.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I wonder if her later books are her later.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Books do seem to be original because I haven't read them,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and I probably won't, like not to be insulting to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the author or anything, but I was just like, I'm
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: just gonna read the recaps, and they did seem like
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: they were original plot and original stories and weren't like
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: all just retelling of different fairy tales or anything.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: In book two, she befriends an ugly gosling.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Who turns out to be beautiful. But that's interesting about
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Sarah being the most in the Bible you think would
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: be like the Virgin, Mary, Magdalene, or Eve, you know,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: like those are I feel like if you ask people
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to name women from the Bible, those would be like
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: three of the first to pop up.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Well esther comes in second. She has her own book yes,
• 20:14
