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. Hello. So for you guys, it's been, this is the weekly update.

The episodes have been coming out beautifully, if we do say so ourselves.

But for us, it's been two weeks since we last recorded.

And what this means is that we have a lot to say.

This is our time to talk. So much has happened, including daylight savings, which I only bring up because the sun is in my eyes and there's nothing I can currently do about it.

So together, if you're on the video version, the sun will slowly move and it should be fine soon.

But yeah, if I'm kind of leaning over, that's why.

We have a lot of fun stuff to talk about, Raylene.

A lot of bookish commotion has gone down for us.

Yeah, we both did like bookie things in the past week or so. Yeah, we both did like bookie, booky things in the past

week or so. Yeah, we had bookie times. But let us begin with some very important news, which is

that our bookmark subscription club is currently open for subscribing. So this is one of our mainstay projects that we do throughout the year.

We did it last year. We were so happy with how it went.

We did it last year. It has gone wonderfully, and so we're doing it again next year.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, we have this quarterly bookmark subscription

where we team up with artists that we really, really like. We like spend weeks looking for artists,

cool people, and then we reach out to them, and they design two beautiful bookmarks for us. So you can

only get the bookmarks through the subscription. They're not for sale individually afterwards.

So this is the only way to make sure that you get them.

And they come out and they just get mailed to you four times a year.

Every few months, you get these beautiful bookmarks and a set of, yeah, so you get the set of bookmarks, a sticker.
