| 2:27.8 | Yeah. So, friend of the show, Ambogel, who host the wildly popular, what should I read next podcast it, which is all about reading and it's still the light she invited us on to be the guest for her seventh birthday celebration, where we talked three things we love and one thing we hate about podcasting. |
| 2:44.8 | We also shared our green lights and red lights of reading will include a link in the show notes and you can go listen and hear how other people have to deal with us when they invite us to their home. I felt for her editor truly truly we are chaotic at best. |
| 2:56.8 | It's a tough thing probably for the editor, but they all did a good job. We were happy to be there. So we thought in the spirit of that episode, maybe we should do our own kind of nose of books that episode. So we're you know sometimes we do like I've got six nose on one do first and you got six do we know the readers were so the listeners are so good. |

| 3:53.8 | Yeah, just like so a book that's like I we can't get together because you're my sister and they know that she's not that kind of secret. But she can just be like, hey, I'm not your sister in the end. Everybody is happily ever after. We are. Let's drag it out. |
