  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the mom's every podcast.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Kaylee and I'm Kinsey and we're going to do our winter to be our wrap up in our spring to be our hopefuls I guess is what we need to start calling it because we're the most unreliable people when it comes to checklist you know you're not wrong.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you're not the wrong fault.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: TBR wrap up when I read not zero books.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: None.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I read tons of looks just none on your TBR.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I actually did pretty good for that one.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was looking at this one and I did okay.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're coming from last week's episode where we
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then, too, said we were going to be doing if our husbands wrote it, well, our husbands did not write it.
• 1:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did not write it.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had to be like, hey, he's burning down this.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, hey, he's Caleb, no, no.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Me texting my hand.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Has Evan done it?
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, we're the mercy of men, which is not it.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is not it.
• 1:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, we tried really hard to get them to do it, but they were all apparently too busy for us this week.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, we're gonna try in next week.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you were looking forward to that episode, tune back in next week, because I'm literally going to shape his eyebrow off of fetus line.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do it this time.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can also, what have I shared?
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Caleb's other eye.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they could have opposite eye brows.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what?
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a plan.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fun.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a plan.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to, okay.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to do recent reads.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: What have you been reading this week?
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I just started.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've a long tower by seeing Crawford and Alex Rivers.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not familiar with Alex Rivers.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seeing Crawford.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I talked about.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: on the Kindle and Limiton Rax episode with the Austin Nefters.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm only like five chapters in, but I'm really loving it because seeing Robert does something differently with the Fayworld and the human world, and it's like talking about this girl in the South of France on vacation.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, you know what?
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can vibe with that, because
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's real places.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not having to like think too hard, but then they sprinkle in the fake world, which I really like and it kind of like modernize it and modernizes a little bit and I'm excited I was kind of confused the beginning, but there were two different theme claims and I didn't catch that.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, so I'm there, but I'm excited.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: you have me wanting to read Frost, which really, I really should, it did not make my spring TV out though, but I kind of want to read it.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I had just finished this morning twisted love, which Mackenzie had me read and I really enjoyed it.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't love the ending as much as I would like wanted to.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Basically, Alex
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: chases her Ava to London and quits his job as a CEO and everything.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just very unrealistic the ending.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Quits his job as CEO follows her to London.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Basically she's like, well, what if I want to be in a relationship with someone else and he's like, you're not going to be in a relationship with someone else.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will kill them.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're mine.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, there's like, hot possessive and then there's like that.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It brought it from like a 4.5 to a 3.5 to like the ending.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did not like it all.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still overall really liked the book.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did not like Alex in the end.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I am so super excited.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think for the bodyguard princess, why does my voice come out so quiet on those things?
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because you talk quiet and do I?
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think like whisper talk.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if it's because when I'm teaching all day, I'm hollering.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I'm talking at such a loud volume.
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so this isn't normal.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it sounds normal for you.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I didn't know what I was going to say.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: First, like, five minutes of her volume, I fixed it.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're good.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is that all right?
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I should have listened to it before.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, it's a good stuff.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now to the good stuff, okay, how many of your winters of yours did you read?
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Four, no, wait.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read one, two, three, four, five, six.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read six, I'm still failing my assignment.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Four out of 10, I read six out of 10.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think, like when I went back and looked at them,
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why would I put that on my TBR?
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know, I went full like holiday themed.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I did.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, that is very realistic.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Which you made a lot of the ones that were on my list.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought about that on the way here.
• 5:17
  [UNKNOWN]: Okay.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read we who will die, which is on Kaylee's list.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read a ton that was on the list.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, good spirits.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Was a bit of a let down.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it wasn't just as good as I was hoping it was going to be.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just okay.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I like that.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was a ghost.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think I like that.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was not a vibe for me.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But did you see the new cover for her?
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: The second book in this series?
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's not like a Damon or something.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, I don't remember.
• 5:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: OK, it's grim tightings.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do I know what this is about?
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely not, but am I absolutely ferro for this cover?
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I am.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, yeah, okay.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna just, I just can't like, are these people real people?
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, obviously, we're in books.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like the two is real.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's actually kind of funny.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't like books, like if it was about a ghost, but I'm like, okay, we're fake anyways.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the second novel of her ghosted series, a grim reaper and a guardian angel cross paths, as one tries to change up her reputation.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So she, the more she's doing.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: a sheet of grim reaper he looks like a guardian angel that be a good like twist of um like rolls and that's how it is I'm I'm down I would totally that would be good not be interesting I wish I just wish up I would dig that I I was the worth that but I'm obsessed with that cover go a little sidetracked um
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: My favorite TBR read that I had from the winter time, hands down funny story.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I only heard I'm so glad I read that book.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I loved it.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mine was my Merry Mistake by Courtney Mal.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really enjoyed that one.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the third sister.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it did not.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a series and I did not realize it.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's the older sister that's kind of a scruge.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Love that.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really didn't give it the rest of I was doing this device because I had a friend read that book and she was like I just didn't like that girl like she's not very likable and I was like I love there.
• 7:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love characters like that because everyone usually hates them And I'm like they are so relatable.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I actually love that one another big let down was obviously brems down But he sees you when you're sleeping.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, mm-hmm.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was a hopeful one
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Probably because of the vibes of it.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was the one that gave holiday lights out.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: It did not keep the holiday.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: A she-inversion of the time when you order from Team U.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it comes in like 20% of the time.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to go in a little bit of peppermint in holidays.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: That we're like just going to spread and white on the outside.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: don't mean as holiday.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was not great.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would skip it.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just very
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think some of it is like over time yeah, and like you got to know when to stop stop trying to capitalize on So premise of it was good, but he was such a team you Josh that it was not even funny like he I didn't okay Never mind did not I loved Josh.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love Josh.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, Josh story.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's my favorite movie labs or because I was like Yeah, guilty.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's funny because Megan message me and it was like that's how I feel about human binding 13
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, she's so happy with that.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're valid for that.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I was so glad that I finally read Heartless Hunter.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: To the point where I immediately went into Rebel Witch right afterwards.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was also part of the reason why I can't do anything on my TBR because I'm like, I'm like an ADD reader.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm like, ooh, this one looks nice.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's called a mood reader.
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is it?
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I am a mood reader.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is like made reader in my bones.
• 9:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a made reader.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm just not a vibe.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to read it But heartless hunter just a whole series.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: What is that series called the witch?
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: What is it the ruin is What the crimson mall the crimson mall if that's what it's like the ruin is slow.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, that's that's but you're in black my tailing not
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: two very different genres.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, but I was like, it'd be funny story, and then it would be Heartless Hunter.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tom, it was up there for me.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also really loved in your dreams, by Sarah Adams.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: That one was another really good one that I read.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I was too.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I went, I'll Sarah Adams right after I'm jelly.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: We also have a fun, yeah, Sarah Adams podcast coming up at the end of the month with a special guest, who we love.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's gonna be so fun.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love doing podcasts like that.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just like a girl girl's night girl's night.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I was absolutely fair for it.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fair all for James.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't like sticky noting a book, but I was like, you know what?
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I had a been on my candle, I would have highlighted 80% of what I read from James Mouth, and yeah, it's sticky tabs, you write on some of the stuff like them, the little me cute in the par, which we have at home, Pharaoh.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah actually said she found that like a picture in spove for that on Pinterest and like based the whole scene around that Pinterest.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: She said well and she said that like if you can find her Pinterest like she plans like Pinterest to plan out scenes and like future books and the next book she's writing is a standalone.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be a serious, it's a standalone romance I'm assuming.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think yeah, but she was talking about how she really loved um, Regency romances and so I wonder if she'll write a standalone, I know she wrote two in the beginning of her career, but I'm like I'm so curious to see what this standalone is going to be.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That would be good.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also the part with James and his happy and turned backwards.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like eating it up.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also liked James a lot more than I thought I would based on reading the other three books.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, he seemed fun.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just didn't think I'd be feral over James.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like, feral, feral, it's a joke.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah, for the rancher, not even, she's like, I'm not a god boy.
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah, for the farmer.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sarah, for the farmer.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: True, florist.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, who does?
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Farrell, for the farmer.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, my love mug.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's your new t-shirt design.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got you.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want one.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, now into our spring TBR, which I definitely was ambitious.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, I don't think I'm going to get it.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know down because I've been very in completion of my TBR.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, you know what, let me think smart about this.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I did not take it out from your book.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I went crazy a little bit.
• 12:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see if I can do all this.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: First one on my list is Crescent City, too.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: The House of Sky and Breath, I think it is.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I've read the first one in the second one, I just haven't continued on in the series.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because of Christmas season and I'm like, I don't know, I just didn't feel like reading it.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But now I need to pick it up.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been downloaded on my Kindle for,
• 12:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: ever.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I need and that is my 2026 goal is to read the questions that you see.
• 12:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we have February.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: You need to get out.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know, but if I listen to it, I'll knock that bad true.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So fast, true.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, because I.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I 100% know I will be more invested in crescent city than I was prims home.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I've never even read the series.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't go.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, honestly, I doubled the first book up.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know some people don't really like the crescent city series, but I cannot relate.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I loved the first book so much.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, Bryce's my favorite FMC.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: That she has written.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love Bryce.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I love Hunt.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus, you're gonna love Hunt.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard like once you get past like the weird shift in the world and like how different it is.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a very different world and throwing a glass like once you get past that because of what you expect from Sarah Daymas that is pretty, but honestly, it wasn't like it didn't take me long to get into the world either.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think by 100 pages, I was like fully comprehending everything.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It really wasn't that bad of a shift.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: the first two chapters obviously were like yeah but they were interesting enough to keep me wanting to read it.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really want to slowly because I want to do an ac guitar reread.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really, I've not read a guitar since I read it fully through the first time three years ago and it was ac guitar after fourth wing that got me back into like reading series and so I truly don't remember which one I read first ac guitar or fourth wing
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was Akatar because I read it on the way to Disney our first time and we stayed in a beauty in the beast room and it's like beauty in the beast vibes.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're like wow.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, wow, I took a picture next to the beauty in beast stuff and I'm like, I'm reading beauty in the beast and staying in beauty in the beast.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: There we are.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's literally what it is.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I did the thing where I went through my little, I went call it a bookshelf, my book floor.
• 14:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and come on Kay, I'll build a book show.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got all of the physical books that I've recently gotten, and that's how I made my TBR.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I also sprinkled in my, um, like what I need to read for a white book club and like my TBR full.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was how I made my list.
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I did not put my TBR pull in here.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I should have, yes.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, now that you're like in that crescent city, I'm like, you know what, that's going to spring summer fall.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got so many months to do it.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the first one for one of the book clubs that I'm in is Blood and Steel by Helen Schueller, Schusher.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how to say that.
• 15:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but it's of the,
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's the series called?
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Legends of Thessmore have you heard of that?
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have heard of that.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a pretty big series.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, why?
• 15:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have thought that you have read that.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm really excited.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to put an ash, you have read my book.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you'll.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Blood and ash.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But this is blood and seal.
• 15:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Legends of Thessmore.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a romantic and epic romantic fantasy.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Spice two chillies only once seen open door.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: but it's got a 4.19 rating.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, which is pretty good.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's not bad.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I did, but I wanted to finish the twisted series.
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: How many are there for?
• 16:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Four.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why do I keep looking at there?
• 16:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like I have them.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I need to buy them.
• 16:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I can look back.
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did all the arrangements for myself.
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a little bit.
• 16:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Did you?
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, if my high up there, and then put our son copies and arcs right there, where people could see.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, our shield of Spara's arc, our daughter of no-world sign in our middle, sing your sign that we just got.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, by the way, guys.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we just met Rachel Schneider.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was so fun.
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was literally the most fun.
• 16:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And she came up to us after the interview and hugged us.
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think that was like, wow, that was a fun.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is like a full circle moment, but like, okay, which one was better?
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Am I Sarah Adams book or hugging Rachel Schneider?
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it might have been Rachel Schneider.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 16:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't know.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is by far one of the coolest interactions that we have that author.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, when she recognized us, I mean, she didn't podcast with us.
• 17:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know that, but like, we're just us and she's for, you know, it's like,
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, when that other girl was like, I kind of enrolled seeing y'all.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, ma'am, I did 12 worlds.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, not entertaining.
• 17:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, this is kind of crazy.
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really weird that people are like messaging us now.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's so cool.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like cool.
• 17:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so weird that people are messaging us now and been like,
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh I saw you and I wanted to say how please come say hi like we are very introverted and we want to say hi to you but we look at approachable we are apart from pieces.
• 17:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I promise we will light up the minute you walk over here.
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: We just have RBF really bad so bad.
• 17:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I try to fix it but I don't always know that I'm doing it.
• 17:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: We probably should think more about that when we're like that book of ens.
• 17:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know I try really hard.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I brought a way that we sound on the podcast is legitimately how we are.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we're that's a promise.
• 18:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Unless like we're seeing people on the side of the street and we need to look like that.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we look at them through the town Atlanta.
• 18:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: We just didn't turn on on off our downtown Atlanta face.
• 18:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: But on Instagram, she was talking about how nervous she is to talk and public.
• 18:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, yeah, I remember like when you came on the pot, you were so nervous and I'm like, man, there's no reason for you to be nervous.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are nervous.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was a really good panel.
• 18:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was Andy Eloise 2 and I love her.
• 18:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: She loves great.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's fantastic.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like, I was like, man, it's really annoying that you're like a voice actor.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is your profession because you sound like this when you public speak.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now, and it sounds so good.
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Why?
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was told they're like, I remember when you were nervous coming on the pod and you killed it.
• 18:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And she was like, it was so good to see a familiar face.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like,
• 18:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's me for your familiar and like what it's crazy.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was wild.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was a very surreal moment.
• 19:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was cold out.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's definitely like number one on the podcast list of things that have happened to us that is definitely was really cool there.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, I don't remember what we were talking about.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's your turn.
• 19:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: My turn.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so my last TBR pool was the cheat sheet faster atoms.
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I have not read anything outside the wrong series.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've also not read the first one book.
• 19:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.
• 19:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: We just jumped up and went to three four, um, but I feel like I know Noah and Amelia like already Yeah, yeah, just well, I mean, yeah, you know what the pancakes mean and stuff like that because they still talk about it.
• 19:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's really good that like I think
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: When in Rome, the bug gets all a bad rap, I think, because of Noah, as he just like, he's just grumpy, you know, he's grumpy in all the bugs.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's grumpy in all the bugs, but he's just like a specialty grumpy, but he's like that grumpy that's only soft for her when he actually, he loves that.
• 20:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is that a grumpy sunshine?
• 20:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It definitely, nope.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is Amelia sunshine?
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's definitely a sunshine.
• 20:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but okay, this the cheat sheet is about Bree and Nathan Donaldson.
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's best friends like best friends to lovers.
• 20:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, now that's not your favorite.
• 20:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know that's not your favorite, but she is in love with him.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not the other way around.
• 20:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know like that.
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's typically like the man is in love with the girl all during all this
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think she's like, she teaches ballet or something, and he's a famous football player.
• 20:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: We love that.
• 20:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love his sports romance.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Secretly, he pines after her, but you'll see how much after.
• 20:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love when, guys, he's really fun.
• 20:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm, love it.
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's fantastic.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I also have, and now back to you, we'll be of course in.
• 20:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
• 20:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
• 20:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: All these like books that are about,
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: that are about to be coming out.
• 21:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that one, and then like the kingdom and barred and roses, I forget about those.
• 21:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like what we put in like 20, 26 anticipated reads.
• 21:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's smart.
• 21:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It would be that to do that, though.
• 21:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I like to you, which I'm much more hopeful for than Gaspirids, because I absolutely loved the banger that was first time caller.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's crazy how they can write multiple books, but in two different genres.
• 21:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And but they're also kind of different genres.
• 21:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think I could probably do that because one's like magical realism and the other is romance.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's fair.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 21:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, first time caller was top five of the year for us.
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: My year started out.
• 21:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was the reigning romance book for a long time in 2025.
• 21:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like a random book club or a book of the month book.
• 21:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we both got this book.
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love B.K.
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Borsan anyways, because I wrote her first series.
• 21:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have you read her first?
• 21:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Love one part.
• 21:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 21:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll make that a winter this year.
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Put it on a TBR pool whenever we get there.
• 22:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for those months.
• 22:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I have all the missing pieces by Catherine calls.
• 22:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 22:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was one that you put that's actually our in person book color pick.
• 22:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it did get voted.
• 22:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, eight people voted.
• 22:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's usually a bit of the nine and it's it's one.
• 22:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay cool.
• 22:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I was hoping so because it also, I just put on my candle was the one that you got in that like that book thing that we did.
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I've been it's been my list.
• 22:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that might be my favorite casting house.
• 22:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really?
• 22:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, outside of the spare of halls.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, like like period.
• 22:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, period.
• 22:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was just fun.
• 22:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like the square I meet homeboy, the first one.
• 22:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we have about the very info very briefly.
• 22:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like it's not like it's a real intro.
• 22:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, you meet him at the very end, briefly, like maybe two pages worth of him, but he's in there.
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am upset because beautiful exile was on my TBR for the winner and I didn't read it.
• 23:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still want to finish that series though.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's really good.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like that one.
• 23:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think all of my things pieces were so fun because she runs a podcast.
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Did she get a kid in it?
• 23:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, no, do bad things.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: She has a role with the podcast.
• 23:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 23:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's the one that's the bad things happened to.
• 23:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
• 23:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to try and not put myself in that situation.
• 23:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, she has a true crime podcast and she tries if we did she's literally trying to figure out her sister's murder.
• 23:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's what.
• 23:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 23:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about she's podcasting.
• 23:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a bunch of different small towns trying to figure out her sister's murder and it's with the cup of the small town.
• 23:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's good.
• 23:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
• 23:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know I don't have a really pretty copy of it Hey everybody's gonna love it.
• 23:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 23:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to finish now Kaylee.
• 23:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can say the ruin is love trillity with the sky Put your bluck.
• 23:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 24:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
• 24:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wow With sky then sparrow.
• 24:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Spice and sparrow.
• 24:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do I know the people in that book?
• 24:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's the doctor brother and Wait now
• 24:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I met them more in the second book than the first book.
• 24:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the older brother of his.
• 24:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the one that lives not there.
• 24:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I cannot remember his name right now to save my life.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I downloaded it on hoopla, because I like the audience personally for this because not in my sense.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 24:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to listen to that one very soon.
• 24:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then I can have another completed series.
• 24:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look at me.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I need to do that.
• 24:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like I'm not in the middle of 20.
• 24:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I read when in Rome.
• 24:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, if you want to say you completed this year, then yeah, you can listen to it.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's on Hukwa or is it Libby or something?
• 24:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I listen to practice makes perfect on one of them.
• 24:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you can request it on Libby.
• 24:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I listen to the big moments deal on the beat.
• 24:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the audiobooks are not the best because they're not do it, but they're fine.
• 25:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't mind that.
• 25:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 25:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, this is our podcast book club book.
• 25:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Book lovers by Emily Henry.
• 25:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have a beautiful copy of it.
• 25:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've read it before, but I couldn't tell you what it was about.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know I liked it.
• 25:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming it's people who love books.
• 25:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, okay, if it's the one I'm thinking of, it's like two writers who live beside each other, and they can like see each other from the windows, and they like challenge each other to write something in their genre because they both have hit like writers block or something to like get them, I don't know, I think that's the one I'm thinking about, and if it is, then,
• 25:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just not really liked it.
• 25:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's fair.
• 25:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know I liked it.
• 25:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's been like probably two and a half years since I read it.
• 25:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 25:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely a solid two.
• 25:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 25:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited to reread those.
• 25:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also picked The Willows, which is a hot-on-hot.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got it right here.
• 26:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, this one is a very indie author.
• 26:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And she said it to us.
• 26:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, forever.
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know.
• 26:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: This one right here.
• 26:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's like signed off for the internet.
• 26:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have been meaning to read this.
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brianna Curtis Sergeant.
• 26:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's from my dad's homecoming and Kentucky.
• 26:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh cool.
• 26:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I have no idea what this is about, but it's on Kendall and Limited, and I've been wanting to read it.
• 26:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you know what genre it is?
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's romance.
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like, it says when the past and present collide will love being enough, will love being enough to hold a limit.
• 26:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think if I had to guess, it's like one of Rebecca Harris's contemporary romances about the Rupy Hotout, probably, because it was, it's something about Aubrey thought she'd buried her power so long with her heart for five years.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's tried to forget the boy who broke her heart and the tragedy that tore them apart.
• 26:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a giving, based off that,
• 26:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I am not a second chance, girlie.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: It depends on what the first chance broke with, you know, I think I'm just like, that didn't make sense.
• 27:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: It depends on what they broke up the first time.
• 27:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: that's fair like if it's cheating or something absolutely not I'm done like meeting one girl we're having a conversation on Instagram today about how she's DNFing this one book because of cheating and I was like absolutely that is a fantastic reason to DNF because she said apparently the girl walked in on
• 27:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: um her and someone else who doing stiff and I'm like no that's just that's that's not it for me
• 27:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, she didn't post the book with, okay, yeah, fair.
• 27:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Fair.
• 27:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I don't like that.
• 27:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so Kaylee convinced me to get this at books a million the other day.
• 27:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, but I won't get one half off.
• 27:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, sure, why not?
• 28:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, that's on mine too.
• 28:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is it?
• 28:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 28:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
• 28:03

• 31:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have for the plot.
• 31:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I won because of, I'd love her TikToks where she is just flat out, calling people out who say that she can't be powerless.
• 31:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lauren Roberts.
• 31:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And she's like, y'all, check the copy right.
• 31:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was permanent in years ago.
• 31:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's also YA and my kids read it at school and they love it.
• 31:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I want to be able to be like, have read this too, I love it.
• 31:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, if you love it, I might want to read it because me and Lauren are having beef right now.
• 31:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still don't like her.
• 31:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And who knows?
• 31:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It might end better than that series.
• 31:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's just one book.
• 31:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there's like five.
• 31:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see, okay, we'll see, I've put the neverking, which is that dark retelling of Peter Pan and Wendy, that creepy cover.
• 32:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is kind of a creepy cover, but it's very short.
• 32:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so short.
• 32:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the audio for it and who's on hip loss, I was like amount as well.
• 32:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I've heard it's basically like,
• 32:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Captain Hook and Wendy.
• 32:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if it's anything like the hook from once upon a time, remember that TV series did you ever watch it?
• 32:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: No.
• 32:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh, that series had me in a choke hold.
• 32:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a retelling of all of the fairy tales, but it's like dramatized.
• 32:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
• 32:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It aired on CBS, maybe, but the hook in there?
• 32:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's how I would imagine this look like.
• 32:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it literally says on the front cover, it's right here.
• 32:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the cover.
• 32:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is kind of creepy, not going to lie.
• 32:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But where it got me was, it said the stories were all wrong.
• 32:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hook was never the villain.
• 32:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh.
• 32:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 32:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so the networking is a dark retailing up Peter and Wendy.
• 33:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot ruthless, morally gray love interest, then you'll love the networking.
• 33:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is hook for Hans upon a time.
• 33:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Clock.
• 33:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was like a main character in the show.
• 33:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Love.
• 33:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 33:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 33:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're trying to enter.
• 33:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm trying to enter my slightly dark romance here.
• 33:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hera, the FMC of the series, is like a, the daughter of Snow White Prince charming.
• 33:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: who was like a unique answer.
• 33:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this is literally Captain Hook and Wendy and I will be picturing Athens or the MMCS.
• 33:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Please do.
• 33:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then it would do wonders.
• 33:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So my next one is Body Guard by Catherine Center.
• 33:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got that book at second in Charles for like four dollars and with the movie coming out soon or a series, movie.
• 33:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a movie on Netflix.
• 33:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really want to read it.
• 33:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not read Katherine Center yet.
• 33:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this will be my first Katherine Center.
• 33:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really like that one.
• 33:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited and just I love Layton Meister.
• 34:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love her.
• 34:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 34:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's not feeling about that.
• 34:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 34:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 34:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: to ain't doing, it will always take a time to do.
• 34:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I just saw on a how I feel about him being the MMC because all I see is Dean that she didn't on Rory.
• 34:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's fine.
• 34:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will get over it.
• 34:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like, we'll never be a team dean.
• 34:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to watch this movie.
• 34:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
• 34:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm going to see Dean and it's going to make me not like him.
• 34:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you know the words like the guy from Dan or in front of the guy that's from one trio that plays Dan,
• 34:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I could never watch a movie with him in it without thinking that that stands God and I can't stand him.
• 34:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like when that happens.
• 34:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even that happens.
• 34:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The next one's kind of funny in the Dunning Crawler call.
• 34:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that book as everywhere everywhere.
• 34:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I bought it on audible because I had an audible credit.
• 34:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Apparently I need to really get the listen to my audio bugs.
• 34:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've got a lot of them apparently, but the new crawler Carl, I'm gonna start because between pages and friends is doing like a deep dive into them.
• 35:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I might follow along with that and listen to the new crawler Carl.
• 35:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just have heard the audio.
• 35:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have to do audio if you're
• 35:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really eat there, so I'm interested to see how this will get out of the story.
• 35:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's like different than what I'm imagining.
• 35:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, what I'm imagining is the walking dead.
• 35:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 35:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: The way I'm picturing it is in a hall.
• 35:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Plights out is like a dark.
• 35:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Romantic comedy.
• 35:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm picturing this as like a Fantasy comedy.
• 35:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard what how Jordan is talked about it in the cat That's in the book like there's gonna be comedic really good exactly and that's I'm here for the comedic really Like that's why I'm really on this series.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't board of it.
• 36:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

  [SPEAKER_00]: This is my last one.

• 37:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been staring at me and I've got a limited price.
• 37:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because it takes me four years to read any physical book.
• 37:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so that is, that is on my list of things to read.
• 37:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that I can officially say that I have read.
• 37:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Icepoint of our bearings.
• 37:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you Rachel.
• 37:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you Rachel.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, here's the thing.
• 37:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: McKinsey is absolutely going to hate it.
• 37:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have no hope in her liking this book, but she has to read it anyways.
• 37:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see.
• 37:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you know, you know how he wakes her up.
• 37:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you know, you know, McKinsey's gonna hate it.
• 37:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Go.
• 37:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 37:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm scared.
• 37:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure.
• 37:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I think you should just go ahead and knock it out.
• 37:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is there an audio book?
• 38:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that I would listen to that.
• 38:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 38:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I forgot the book.
• 38:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just, I don't think I would listen to that.
• 38:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how to, yeah.
• 38:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really?
• 38:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, scary.
• 38:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is a abalry book, not a absolutely play in the Chick-fil-A.
• 38:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
• 38:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Try not.
• 38:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's God, do not listen to this.
• 38:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Especially with Chan in the car.
• 38:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
• 38:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: She says, I put in her only bylist, Tom Fordy, which is the spin-off one.
• 38:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: with the coach from caught up and play along and the team owner.
• 38:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Monty, her name is like escaping me right now.
• 38:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm waiting a little bit to read play along.
• 38:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll probably read it toward the end of the month.
• 38:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: That way, it's like fresh on my mind when this one comes out.
• 38:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, true.
• 38:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because it comes out in March.
• 38:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So,
• 38:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: That way I'll have reread, but she said you could make it like a little trilogy and just do like caught up play along and you know in her own league, okay.
• 39:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which I love that's kind of cool.
• 39:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's in her working.
• 39:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm very excited about that one.
• 39:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I accidentally skipped one, but I'm currently actually listening to this burning daylight by Emily McNeill.
• 39:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: the book was beautiful and I've seen it everywhere.
• 39:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was fantasy because of the book, but it's romance.
• 39:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's apparently a retelling of Romeo and Juliet.
• 39:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, and I kind of get them alive.
• 39:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, they're, she's an ares of like, this big family.
• 39:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was one of, he was like a child of the mistress of the other family.
• 39:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be really cool.
• 39:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: That takes, I'm liking the audio so far.
• 39:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's a dual P.O.B.
• 39:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so you get a guy.
• 39:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I like that.
