Hello and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbind books to get to their hearts with your host, me, Raylene, and...

Me. It's Ariel.

Oh, hey. What's up? So this week, we are here with a bunch of recommendations once again.

We've got some fun ones, some interesting picks.

I'm pretty excited to see what you picked for some of these.

Yeah.

Yeah, how's it going, man?

You know what?

Before we jump in.

I'm doing okay.

I'm in the midst of a big move and I'm selling a lot of stuff and relevant to the podcast.

I sold a bunch of my books and actually, Raylene, I texted you, as you know, I sent you a photo

of most of the books that I was getting rid of and I was like, do you want any of these? And you

replied back saying that you were proud of me for the amount of books that I'd gotten rid of. Yeah, it was nice because for a long time, like, I've come over to your house multiple times, and I was, of course, I always look at your books. And sometimes I'm just like, why does she still have that? Why does she have that? She's never going to read that. And I'm a person who likes to get rid of stuff, like a lot. So I always do that,

but you like to hang on to your things, which is great. And I'm always like, she's not going to read that book. I just know it. And then I saw in your unholy that you were getting rid of some of those books. And I was like, good. I feel like my life has very slowly, slowly gone through the Maria Kondo method

where you know how like Maria Kondo says

start with like clinical things

like papers slowly gone through the Maria Kondo method, where you know how like Maria Kondo says,

start with like clinical things like papers.

Like it's easy to get rid of papers.

So go through, get rid of the papers you don't need, keep the only the essential papers that

you really need.
