0:00.0	You're listening to All the Backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.
0:14.3	I'm your host, Vanessa Diaz, back for episode 501.5, airing on Friday the 28th.
0:20.2	And yeah, can we just take a second to reflect on the fact that February is over?
0:24.6	It both took forever and also went by in a flash.
0:27.6	This has been the longest couple of months.
0:29.6	Got that out of the way.
0:30.6	And also on a happier note, that we've been doing all the books for over 500 episodes.
0:35.6	And I say we. I have not been around since the
0:37.9	beginning. There are probably lots of you out there who have been listening since Jump. And you'll

1:02.9	If you've been listening at some point since, we love it all.
1:05.9	And thanks to everybody who wrote in to tell us what some of your favorite picks from the shows have been. That was also really great to read and see. So again, thank you all very much. And I'm going to tell you about
1:16.2	a couple of books that are tied to new releases that came out this week. And by that I mean that
1:20.8	they're by authors who have books out this week. One is a really just tender, just lovely piece
1:27.0	of fiction that has a duck at its core.
1:29.8	I know you must know more, right?
