Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbide books to get to their hearts with your hosts.

Me. It's Ariel and...

Me, Raylene. What's up?

It's true. It's us.

And we are here today for our special book club episode.

This is for Dig by AS King.

So this was a little delayed and that's honestly totally on me.

I...

A couple of just life things happened and it was like just way too hectic for me to

figure this out and get it all done.

And we kept recording normal episodes, but this, this extra episode just kept getting pushed

back.

But we're so excited to be here today.

Um, if you don't know how one of our book club episodes work, Aralian, how many have we done so far? We've done like two. Two? Have we done three? This one has been our third. I can't remember, though. Yeah, something like that. But they're a lot of fun because I don't know how we thought up this format, but I'm really

glad that we did.

Basically, for the first few minutes, we'll talk about our general non-spoilery thoughts about

the book and stuff.

But then we dive into listening to our book club pals's thoughts.

So anybody who joined us for this book club who read Dig could send in a voice

clip.

And we're actually going to listen to their voice clubs today, which is so much fun.

And honestly, very helpful.
