Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, podcast where we Unbind books to get to their hearts with your hosts us.

It's Ariel and Raylene. Hello, everyone. Welcome to a rainy day. How's your day? Is it rainy over there?

Not yet. I'm hoping that it will, though. It's definitely cooler today than it was yesterday.

Yesterday was quite hot. Today is looking like maybe like 19 or 20 degrees so okay still warm but uh yeah it's been fine

I'm still I'm waiting for the rain but my house is still orange so you know who's really

winning here all right today we're doing an audio onlyonly episode because we want to. Am I right?

Really, it's because CJ is going away for a vacation week, and so I have to edit this episode,

and we're fitting it in last minute, not last minute, but we're fitting it in, and I do not have time to edit a video episode. I can do this though.

This can be done. Yeah, how's your week been really? And it's been kind of a busy one for me.

How's it been over there? Yeah, it's been pretty busy. I think it was last week I mentioned that I had to take my cats to the dent, not to the dentist. Well,

two weeks ago I had to take both cats to the vet. And then the vet said that Simon needed to have a little

tooth surgery done. And so last week was the tooth surgery. And so the last kind of week kind of was

affected by that a little bit because Simon had to go. He had to be put under and he had to have a couple of teeth pulled. And then so for the rest of that day, he was just like drunk. Like he like couldn't walk straight. Like it was very, it was funny, but it was kind of like, oh my gosh, my boy. But it was very cute though. And so so I, like, just kind of was cuddling with him and, like, watched Gilmore Girls.

So that's one thing that I've started doing is watching Gilmore Girls, which you and I agreed we would watch it kind of. We kind of both decided we wanted to rewatch it this fall. But you said, I'm going to wait until September. And I said, yeah, me too. And then it was like August 25th or something and I was like, well, today's the day.

I'm just going to start. until September and I said yeah me too and then it was like August 25th or something and I was

like well today's the day I'm just gonna stir you sent me a photo of your TV and it with the

Gilmore girl's title page and I was like I need you know what cozy for Simon he wasn't

feeling well so I did it for him I love I think. I think you said, like, you should just join me. And I'm like, no. But it's, yeah, it's funny because I've done a few things that have kind of like been fall-ish, like in the past week. So there was there was that. But I also, as I mentioned, I think I mentioned last week, I put up some like

orange lights and stuff around my house to kind of get the vibes going. But then also on Friday,

I hung out with my friend Julia and we did something that we meant to do earlier in the summer,

but we did it on August 30th. And that was what we've called Summerween, which we just basically wanted to like celebrate Halloween in the middle of the summer because we wanted to because we love Halloween and fall.

And so we're like, oh, it'll be kind of fun to like just have one day where we go all out.
