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 Raylene. Yola. So true. Yola! I forget if we talked about this on the podcast, I'm trying to make

yola happen. It's a mixture of yo, which Raylene and I for some reason have said to each other for

years. Like, yo, that's how we always text a conversation start. But then also, Ola. So I thought

it was like, I thought it was like really obvious what I was doing. But then I asked several people,

I was like, yola, and they're like, oh, hey. And I was like, what do you think, I mean by Yola?

And they're like, like, Yolo. I remember you said that. And I was like, okay, maybe this isn't working. But you know what? You just said it without us talking about it. So maybe it is catching on. Also another friend of mine uses it when he talks to me. He's like, Yola, and I'm like, hey, listen, it just takes two. Yeah. It just takes three. And there you go.

Then you got a movement on your hands.

You're welcome.

So, gosh, this is an interesting ep because it's the circle of life, huh?

Really casting its highs and its lows over here in Ariel's world. As you guys

know of last week's episode was a very joyous one. A really happy engagement news filled

app. And we're going to be doing a mailroom segment at the end, reading some comments from

you guys and a few of them that I pulled her about the engagement because people had

some concerns.

It's intriguing.

We'll be talking about that again later.

But, yeah, it was obviously such a fun, happy time.

And then the last week of my life has been so stressful and difficult. So basically, basically my dog is sick. And everyone who has a

pet, anyone who has a pet knows that that is the worst.

It's the worst when your dog or your cat or your fish or your guinea pig, whoever, whatever they are, it's just the worst because you're obviously responsible for them.

So you want to make sure that you're doing everything you can.
