Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbind books to get to their hearts with your hosts, us.

It's Ariel and.

Raylene. Hi.

So sorry for starting off with that energy so I can't take it back now we're in okay here's the situation folks we're pre-recording

this baby because hell yeah you know I was thinking about this really we're allowed to take a week off, but that never even occurred to us. I know. Like, we could do this any time we wanted, but we only do it when you go on vacation or there's some kind of like reason. But it's like, we don't need a reason to take a break. I know. We're allowed to take a break. But basically, I am currently when this episode is going up yeah i'm in

europe she's out of it i got the hell out of here i'm in europe and for my one of my best friends

weddings and so uh raylene and i were like it's going to be a bit of a nightmare to record while

i'm over there because of the time zones and I'd have whatever.

And I'll stay on holiday. Like that's just not something you should be doing. So we were like,

let's pre-record a couple of episodes. So because we can't do our usual reading update,

we thought let's do some fun tags because it is fun to kind of juice up the content a little bit

and do something different.

And we had this fun idea to do tags that we made up 10 years ago.

Oh boy. So last time we did one of your tags.

This time we're going to be doing one of my tags.

And this is called,

I love this.

Sorry, this is called the ruler of books tag.

Now that I'm saying it out loud.

So, okay, so this tag I made up and, uh, this, I posted this video, May of 2016.

So it hasn't been a decade. But actually, it's been a while. How long has it been six years?

Wow. Jeez.
