| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books to get to their hearts with your hosts. |
| 0:15.3 | Us, it's Ariel and Raylene. |
| 0:17.9 | Hello, everyone. |
| 0:19.3 | Hello, hello. |
| 0:19.9 | We are doing an audio episode today as opposed to our usual video rigmarole because I am |
| 0:26.6 | abroad. |
| 0:29.6 | Our time zone difference is crazy. |
| 0:33.6 | Seven hours? |
| 0:34.6 | It just feels like too much, first of all. But secondly, it's such an awkward number. Seven hours. Whenever I try and calculate what time it is for you, I'm like... Yeah, it used to be nice. When I lived in BC, it was a solid eight-hour difference when you went to... I don't know why that feels so much rounder, like logical to me, but seven hours, that's clunky as heck. Yeah, I don't like it either. |
| 0:55.9 | I am in the UK, um, for people who are maybe newer to the pod or just don't remember, um, |

| 1:35.2 | like particularly, I'm like, I'm excited to tell you about them. Okay. This happens every time I feel |
| 1:40.0 | like whenever you go to Europe, you teach me about like three or four new books every time. |
| 1:45.7 | I'm like, oh, wow. Some of these, you know what, most of the ones I'm excited to talk to you |
| 1:50.1 | are ones we've already talked about, but I've found, if that makes sense. Yeah, that's, no, I know |
| 1:55.0 | what you mean. That's the best. That time when you finally get them in your hands, it's a whole new |
