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

But yeah.

How are you doing, Ariel, before we jump in?

You don't really?

I'm doing pretty good.

I'm feeling okay.

I'm feeling pretty good.

I don't know why, but I feel like even this is completely wrong.

Okay, what I'm about to say is super weird, but just

hear me out. I keep thinking about how spring and summer are going to be here not that far from

now. And I'm so excited. That is a good thing to think about. I know that you're more of a

fall winter person. And honestly, I am 100% a late summer fall winter person and honestly I'm a hundred percent a late summer

fall person like I love the fall that's the ideal um but I just I moved into this house that I love

I love my new old weird house but I moved into this house obviously in November and I keep

thinking about how fun it's going to be here when it's warm. And I can, like, be outside more and just hanging out, like, in the river and, like, actually going on my property a bit more and exploring the town, obviously, COVID-friendly-wise, but, like, going out a bit more. Whereas right now it's just, you know, it's wintertime, so it's more cooped up. So I don't know, I've been thinking about that a lot, and it makes me happy. That's super nice. Yeah, normally, like, I already don't like winter very much. Like, I don't like the two extreme seasons. I don't love summer and I don't love winter, but this year winter has been just like especially sad because it's like you're not going out. Like I wanted to go snowboarding, but I can't.

Like I want to go outside and enjoy winter to the extent that I can. But it's like not a good time.

So winter is just extra sad. Yes. I completely agree with that because winter is already hard,

especially like for Canadiansadian it's hard

winter is rough it's really dark um it you know it becomes dark at like 430 it the sun doesn't come out

to like 730 so it's just really dark all the time it's cold and then because of COVID we can't go

out we can't do so it's just like do. So it's just like, what's the point? I just want it to be over. Right. So I totally feel you. I'm like, I just want it to be warm again so I can at least, you know, enjoy the sunshine and sit in the backyard and read a book, you know? Yeah, exactly. So I agree. I don't like summer because it's just too damn hot, but I agree.
