Happy Derek Craven Day, Jen!

Oh gosh, what a great day to record about romance.

I know!

To celebrate, we're celebrating as is customary

by talking about romance novels we really like.

Amazing.

I also, this is fun.

I was out at a library in the suburbs yesterday

doing like a little talk about romance and it was really fun. I met some of our listeners. Love it. Yeah it was really cool and like some people are just I'm sure just like library patrons and it was terrific and I was funny because Meg who was one of our

listeners was like had me sign something and she was like it's Derek Craven Eve and I was like it is and then I was like I love that that's like makes sense in our world

The best I mean what's my favorite thing is then when you get online and you're like and it's so many people are like it's Derek Craven Day. I know!

And listen, Derek Craven Day is empirically the best holiday because you are

required to do absolutely nothing to prepare. Yes.

And then on the day of, the job is to just like read a great romance

or maybe talk about one.

Yes, that's it.

Like, that's how you observe.

No special food required. No, I tried to really lean into you know there are a lot of people who don't like this book like Derek Craven that's fine. I know everybody comes through and is like I you know here's what I dare quayton's not my favorite let me talk
