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.

Hey. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

All right, this is gonna be a fun one.

This is a bonus episode.

This is a little Christmas special.

So we've been doing this, I wanna say the last two years.

This is our third year, I think, of doing a Christmas book hall episode.

So fun. But what we've also started tacking on as a second half to it is going over the responses

to our Books Unbound 2022 reading survey. So we asked you guys to fill out a survey if you wanted to about your reading habits this year.

And you answered 1,500 people respond.

Wow.

1,117.

Actually, probably 1,516 because I answered the first one as a test to make sure it worked.

But yeah, 1,500 people answered. So we've got some, like, we've got a lot of good data.

And we're really excited to talk about, you know, on average, how many books did our listeners read?

On average, what was the genre that our listeners listened most to or read most of?

So it's going to be a good old time.

But first, we're going to start with our book hall.

And oh, I'm so excited, Raylene.
