0:00.0	You are listening to All the More Books, a weekly show about All The More Books. Some of the
0:16.1	books are new, some are old, and some are in that weird geriatric millennial stage,
0:20.4	which they're not really
0:21.0	sure where they fit in terms of age.

1:08.8	to talk about those books after a quick
1:10.8	break. Today's episode is brought to you by Eighth Node Press, publishers of the Chicago
1:18.0	Heartbreaker series by Allie Weekend. The first book in the series, aptly titled First
1:23.5	Base, follows photographer Maggie, whose last love ended in tragedy so she's content to
