| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books. |
| 0:13.2 | To get to their hearts with your hosts us, it's Ariel and Raylene. Hello. |
| 0:18.5 | Woo-hoo. Welcome to mid-June. Wow. I feel that I don't understand where the last month went. |
| 0:27.8 | Yeah, I feel that. I didn't feel that way about May, honestly. Like, May, it's not like this is every single month where it's just like speeding by at the, but like for most of April, May, I was like, okay, sure, sure, sure. June, don't understand it. |
| 0:44.7 | Where to go? |
| 0:45.1 | Don't get it at all. |
| 0:46.1 | I actually, I was like, oh yeah, that girl emailed me yesterday. |
| 0:49.5 | I have to respond to it. |
| 0:50.5 | I go to respond to it. |

| 1:39.2 | that the fastest time of your life is when you have young children. |
| 1:47.1 | Ooh, I bet. Yeah. This is kind of just based on like anecdotes and things I've heard from people like because so much is going on. And they grow so |
| 1:52.4 | fast. So like every, you know, couple of weeks are probably like, oh, they're already changing in this way |
| 1:57.7 | and this way. And it just makes time feel like it's going fast. Yeah of being busy and just like strung out i think that i think that that's the thing hmm well i don't have |
