| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbind books to get to their hearts with your host, me, Raylene, and... |
| 0:15.2 | Me! It's Ariel! Wahhoo! Ah, man, we are happy to be back yet again. It feels good. It feels good. |
| 0:22.3 | It's going to be really fun. Before we jump in to our new style episode, Ariel has three |
| 0:28.6 | messages for our audience. So take it away, Ariel. |
| 0:32.5 | All right. Well, first up, and most importantly for sure, is that we're back and it feels good to be back. |
| 0:39.6 | We have had so many wonderful messages from our listeners on Instagram and via email and via our |
| 0:47.8 | Patreon saying like very lovely things. |
| 0:50.7 | And it just, you know, it fills our heart with joy to be back and to, to, like, feel |

| 2:03.9 | we talk about. And we know, we've talked about this in other episodes in the past, how we like want |
| 2:12.1 | to mention as much diverse books as we can and diverse authors. But the truth of the matter is also that, |
| 2:19.0 | you know, we only read a certain amount of books in a year. I read maybe 50 books in a year. |
| 2:23.3 | You read maybe 150 books in a year. And that's going to range. It's just a person reading. |
