| 0:26.2 | with Zibby. Formerly, moms don't have time to read books. In my daily show, I interview |
| 0:31.3 | today's latest, best-selling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators, whose work I think is worth your time. |

| 1:44.9 | the question, what's your book about, and when is it coming out. |
| 1:47.4 | I hope that this little preview makes the list come to life for you and the way it did for me. |
| 1:52.1 | And we will also link in the show notes pictures to the event so you can see just how fun it really was. |
