Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books to get to their hearts with your hosts, me. It's Ariel and...

Me, Raylene. I'm a new woman. I've moved. I'm a new woman. Yes. Oh my God. Okay, guys,

this is such a jam-packed episode. This is going to be a really fun one because this is Raylene's

birthday episode. Happy birthday. No, I'm not going to sing it because do you remember that horrible feeling you would feel when you were at a family restaurant? Oh my God. And they would all start to sing. And they would all start to sing. And you would be like, please, no, it can't. Please don't be near me. And then they'd go to the other side of the restaurant, but you still felt cringe. My parents, like, knew that that would destroy me if they actually got to, did you have

waiters sing to you? Oh, 100%. We used to go to Red Robin a lot for birthdays and stuff, and they

really like to sing at Red Robin. They have a whole special song there. It's so horrible.

Well, it's Raylene's birthday Raylene has moved uh we have the

birthday quiz which is apparently a book's Unbound tradition now um and I guess I'm going to have to

make a quiz every year um but we also have some really fun announcements to do about our final book club of the year,

if you guys want to join in on our final book club of 2021.

And a little something called Flight of the Albatross, which makes no sense out of context.

So we're going to have to talk about that.

But also we've read some books.

We've bought some books. So we've got some normal reading stuff to do. So this is a,

it's a real jam-packed. Let's start with the announcements so that people who don't have long

attention spans will hear the juicy details. And then we will, we won't feel bad at the end

when we forgot to do them. I mean, honestly, I do feel This is important. And then we won't feel bad at the end when we forgot to do them.

I mean, honestly, I do feel like an important announcement is how did your move go?

It went pretty well.

I ended up moving sooner than we originally thought, which was nice.

However, it was on a Sunday.

And so we did all of the moving on a Sunday
