Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we Unbind Books to get to their hearts

from coast to coast with your host, Ariel and Raylene.

Woo-hoo!

What's up?

That was the most beautiful introduction we've ever had. I think I really nailed it. Very well done. I went in with the right energy, I think. Hello, Raylene. How are you doing? I am doing quite well. How about you? I'm doing pretty good, although I think people, we've definitely mentioned this before on the podcast. I think people know that when we record, we are also video calling because it just makes it more,

it just makes it easier for like having a conversation slash we'd like to hold up the books

we're talking about to show each other.

So today on camera, I think you can see that I have a cut across my forehead.

Yes, indeed.

And I also sent you a photo a few hours after the injury happened.

I am doing another home renovation project, soon to be on my YouTube channel, I'm sure.

And a piece of wood flung up and smacked me on the head and cut my forehead incredibly very horizontally.

Like it's completely parallel to the ground how straight this cut is on the right side of my

forehead. So I was just saying I was saying this to my friend. I was like, how often do adults

cut their faces?

Like, it's very rare. Yeah, you don't, because you don't play anymore.

Maybe you're not playing.

Smack your forehead on trees and stuff.

But I have, I feel like I haven't had a cut on my face in a really long time. And I don't wear, like, I haven't worn foundation in like, I don't know, six years or five, five years or something. So I also don't cover it. So I'm like, what, it's just going to be a cut on my head? It is what it is. You can't hide from it. I don't even have foundation anymore. But anyways, I guess I wouldn't put foundation on a cut.

I wouldn't want to ruin, get an infection.

Not that anyone cares about the health of my face.

There you go.
