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.

In the middle of saying the intro, which I don't even think about it anymore.

Like, it's just like, I don't even recognize the words I'm saying anymore.

I just like, it's like, it's almost like rhythmic at this point.

I almost said unwind books.

Uh-oh.

I had a panic I haven't ever had before.

I never had a little performance panic.

Never been here before. Yeah, sorry, I'm new. Can you believe we've been doing this for so long? Sometimes no. Like I actually was just thinking about that yesterday.

I was like, it has been so many years now. So many weeks. It's also funny because I like always feel that this is a bit of a side project.

But it's like one of the most consistent large parts of my week.

Like it's like huge to me.

Like to my life.

You know?

It's just like I don't know why I think of it as, but maybe that's good because I kind of like feel like, oh yeah, just got to record the podcast, even though it takes hours to set everything up and get it all ready. But I'm like, oh, quick, just record the podcast with Raylene. It like somehow keeps as part of my brain that's like, this is cash. It's no problem, even though it's not cash at all. Yeah, that's funny. Not casual.

I'm excited to be here.

I have a lot of stuff to tell you about, really.

Okay.

I'm going to start with this, okay?

This is, I'm like, the second I saw this in the store, I was like, you know,

like, I wish that someone had recorded me and you could see and insert the sound,

screech. I have in my hand the cherry bakewell brew yorkshire tea oh my god edition okay this is crazy okay this is literally insane
