Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind books to get to their hearts with your host's us. It's Ariel and Raleen. Hello.

0:17.7

Woo! All right, we've got a good old juicy episode for you today because we're doing another

0:24.3

reading confessions.

0:26.1

Oh, yeah.

0:26.7

This is when our dear listeners, specifically our dear patrons, submit their bookish problems

0:33.3

to us, and we try our very best as seasoned readers to give advice. Is it always good advice?

0:43.2

I think so. We don't promise that. But I think we've been doing pretty good. I think we've

0:46.7

been doing a good job. And we have some really interesting dilemmas that people have sent in,

0:53.2

one of which is about e-readers and Kindles and

So I'm feeling pretty good today. Like the dream.

1:44.8

Yeah.

1:45.8

I'm not regretting that at all.

1:47.5

No, no, no.

1:48.6

I'm very plump.

1:49.2

A bowl of cheese.

1:51.0

Yeah.

1:52.1

Cheese really is one of those things where like the consumption, the way that you're consuming it changes everything about it.

1:58.8

Like if I just gave to you six huge pieces of cheese and I was like

2:03.2

eat these with nothing else. That seems crazy. But the second you like wrap it in breadcrumbs and
