Welcome to Book Talk, Et cetera, a 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 read books with covers we hate.

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 booklers. Hey, Hannah. Hey, Tina, how's it going? I mean, amazing. I feel great. How are you? I actually feel really great too. Early in the morning. Got my coffee. You've got your coffee. I do. I'm ready to talk about some heinous book covers.

You know, we sort of stacked our bonus content for the month. So our patrons are getting a bookstore browse. They're getting a bonus episode. We're recording the main show. So I feel like we've like had some good quality time together. We have had some good quality time and talked a lot of books, which is never a bad thing.

I am excited to share the ones that I've read.

They are wildcards, really.

They're all thrillers.

They're all thrillers slash horror because I am who I am and I'm excited to share them.

I'm excited to hear about them.

I don't know what you're bringing today at all.

Yeah, right.

I'm so I'm ahead like two episodes.

So sometimes I'm like, what am I bringing?

God, I don't remember what I thought of this, that, and the other.

But I do have my thoughts together for these ones because they made an impression.

Okay.

I will say my loving lately is very simple.

And I don't know if this is going to reach the target audience, but years ago, one of my New Year's resolutions was to wear jewelry every day, which sounds so simple.
