Hello, bookcasers and book nerds everywhere.

It is Thursday.

And that means it is time for a new episode of the bookcase.

I know you haven't really felt like you've lived all week long until Thursday comes.

You're up at three in the morning, when we post.

You're listening to this at four in the morning.

And I am half of the host team. I am the K part. And I'm the Charlie part, Charlie Gibson here. I can't.

I love the idea of people sitting around anxiously waiting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

At four o'clock in the morning. At four o'clock in the morning, they're up at Thursday on, yeah.

But you can listen to it any time, and you can go back and listen to past versions. And just to put in a plug, Kate, we hope you'll tell your friends about this, if you like it. We need listeners. We want to keep going with this. And, you know, there's ratings in television. I was a slave for those for years and years and years when I was at ABC and Good Morning America and at World News. And now we need listeners on this podcast. So mention it to a friend. Stop them in the street. Tackled them in the street. Stop cars. Jump out in front of traffic and tell people about it. Don't not jump in front of traffic. Do not risk your life for the bookcase podcast. We may do it every week, but you don't have to. And I think if you'll find, by the way, if you go back into our back catalog, if you haven't read what we've done this week, you'll certainly find something you've read if you're a real in our catalog. We try to do just about a little bit of everything, including as my father likes

to remind me a whole couple of months of horror, we did some horror because I'm a horror fan.

So you'll find there is something for everyone in the bookcase catalog.

That's not going to bring people in, Katie.

It is. It is. I'm still hoping. I'm still hoping for all you horror listeners out there. So this, we have a great, I don't know, it's almost sort of, I don't feel like this year we've done a sort of summer pastoral book. And this feels a little like a summer pastoral. It's a great beach read. But really what it is is a love letter to Italy. It's about a young woman who finds herself by

traveling to Italy and experiencing Italy firsthand. And it's, I don't know, there were passages where I

felt like I was there, the richness of the color, the beauty of the culture, the fantastic food.

Like, if you love Italy, this is a great book for you. It's called The View from Lake Cuomo by Adriana Trigiani, which I just love to say, and I'll probably say a billion more times. Adriana Trigiani. Adjianna Trigiani, who also hosts a podcast, by the way, that is called You Are What You Read, which also does very well, but I don't recommend you listen to that.
