| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books to get to their hearts with your hosts. |
| 0:16.2 | Me. |
| 0:17.5 | It's Ariel and me, Raylene. |
| 0:19.6 | Oh, my God. I mean Rubin. We're back. I'm sorry. Ruben. We're back and it feels good. It feels right. We are rusty as heck. Yeah. And honestly, we're like, we don't talk as much without the podcast. It's like, I miss you, man. I totally agree. It's not felt good. It's felt wrong. |
| 0:40.9 | We're so glad to be back. As everyone knows, we announced, I mean, randomly in an episode, |
| 0:48.1 | I was like, we should just take August offline. And you were like, we should. So we announced that |
| 0:53.8 | we'd be taking August offline. |

I'm excited, Raylene to hear from you, because like Raylene just said, we haven't been chatting as much. Maybe we also took a break from ourselves. Yeah, from each other. |
| 1:44.6 | I just needed to be away from everything, including myself, interacting with anyone. So yeah, |
| 1:50.6 | we're going to talk personally about how our months offline went. But we wanted to say, like, as a podcast, |
| 1:56.3 | as a podcast, that this time to disconnect has really let us understand why we make the show, |
| 2:03.4 | why we have books unbound. |
| 2:06.8 | And it's that we're here to make you all smile. |
