I prepped my loving lately to podcast bound to grow your TBR.

I'm Tina from TBR, et cetera.

And I'm Hannah from Handpicked Books.

This is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest mood readers

who are easily

distracted by new releases. And today, we are sharing our August books on the radar. If you

enjoy listening, we'd love for you to follow us on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app.

And if you have a quick minute, please consider leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts or sharing

us on social media. It truly helps us connect with other book lovers.

Hey, Hannah. Hey, Tina. How's it going? I mean, great. I just spent about 15 minutes

traumatizing Hannah with my birth story with Cassia. So, you know, we're nice and, we are nice and warmed up here also. Yeah, it's a single tier. It's funny. It's got its ups. It's got its downs, but it all worked out in the end. Tina's a good storyteller, too. Highly recommend. It's a good one. I don't highly recommend your birth story. I highly recommend you as a storyteller. As a storyteller. Yeah, I hope nobody has a similar story. But at any rate, I'm excited to talk August books. You heard me in the intro. I'm like, oh, and we're sharing our August books on the radar because I'm like, that's what's written there. But surely that's not right. It could not be August. Yeah. Over halfway through the year, we're getting toward fall. I have to take my kids back to school shopping in just a few short weeks. Crazy. It's nuts. I know. And everyone's like, oh, I'm ready for spooky season. Now listen, so am I. However, you know that spooky season's only like six weeks because and then after that it's the freaking holidays

question mark i know that doesn't feel right i'm trying to soak in the last few weeks of summer

not because i enjoy the heat but because i don't want the year to be over and once fall gets here i love

the fall but like you said it goes by so fast and then it's over and then the year is over pretty much because

holiday season, who remembers that time of year anyway? Like you're just, I feel like I am like separate

from my body. I'm just like watching myself manically run around. I don't want to be that way this year,

but last year was like that over the

holidays. Yeah. Well, I'll remind you in November to relax a little bit. We'll see how that goes.

We need to. It's a lot of times because of work, too. It's a busy season for work.

Oh, sure. Yeah. Trying to like manage holiday stuff on top of it is tricky.

Not great.

But at any rate, we are still in the summer and we will be sharing our August titles that we are excited for again.
