Hello everyone 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.

Yola.

Before everyone asks, no, we did not dress in green on purpose to match, but we did

do that through, you know, the power of our cosmic connection.

We woke up today and we said, green for the podcast, agreed.

Or as one of my besties, Maureen would say, aligned.

Ooh. I love that. Yeah, I wore this shirt today because, like, it's kind of funny.

It looks like my hair almost blends into it. Yeah. And I didn't wear this hat to look like

Shrek on purpose. I, uh. And yet? And yet I do. So it's a very Shrek-y day. I actually just watched Shrek the other day, so.

That's pretty exciting. Finally. By the time this episode comes out, maybe I don't know math anymore.

Days aren't even math, but they feel like math. You know, I know what you mean. But maybe your

special episode will come out because you did like a vlog for

the Patreon with Shrek, right? Oh yeah. It'll certainly be out by the time this comes out, I think,

or it'll be coming very soon. So yeah, I guess I can tease it now for anybody who might want to go watch it.

It is a Shrek read-along of me reading the Shrek book, the picture book, to you guys. And then it's an

audio commentary of the movie. Like I watched the movie and just sat here with the microphone and

any little thought that popped into my head while I was watching it. I said it. So,

directors cut. Yeah, exactly. It's pretty special. Yeah, it's going to be something pretty

awesome for you guys.

That's amazing. I think that's awesome. You know, this week, it's been a weird one for me.

I guess I would say weird in that like I didn't read very much. And there's been a couple weeks of this and it's just been like work and stuff
