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

It's Ariel and Ray Lee.

We're here today on a rainy day.

I say that, but I realized it might not be rainy where you are.

It's definitely foggy and kind of cold.

It's nice.

I like it a lot.

Yes, it's very atmospheric and moody.

Well, I'm excited for today's episode.

I don't know.

I was going to say, I was like, is there a reason?

Not really.

I just love recording the episodes.

Today we are here for our classic updates episode.

We're going to tell you what we've been reading, what we are, what we're going to be

reading next, and a couple of books that we've picked up along

the way you could say yeah uh same old same old um Raleen told me that she had a little book

hall to do today very tiny minor book haul and uh I I am curious when we get to it about

how your resolution to only buy those four books is going.

So we're going to see about that.

You'll understand when you see it's all going to work out perfectly fine.

All right.
