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 Raleen.

It felt like a lot of Tz-S-S lot of sounds that time.

Is it not always like that? That's funny.

It is, but I felt like this time I got in my head about it.

I suddenly became deeply aware of it.

Today is a really, really hot day here.

It's, well, it's not that hot.

It's 27.

It's 27 degrees.

And so it's feeling like a proper summer day.

And yesterday and the day before we're kind of kind of not warm.

They were a little almost chilly.

And then tomorrow and the rest of the week, it's supposed to be pretty mild.

So it feels like a peak at summer and it

makes me want to jump into the ocean in a positive way. Not in a bad way, in a good way. I want to

run free into the sea. How's the weather over there? Oh, it's good. Over the weekend, it was, like

you said, kind of similar to you, Like, it was really rainy and gloomy on

Saturday. But I actually really liked that because my friends and I went for a big hike.

Ooh, yes. I saw the photos of that. Yeah, which I like never do. I'm not a big hiker, but I want to

become more of a hiker, a hikist. Because, yeah, we went and it was kind of a really big hike for my first hike in a while,

which was a little bit scary. I'm very sore. It was about a five hour long hike all told.
