No skips, John. I'm going to do it. I'm going to get through it. We're not going to have to

cut much. It's going to be great.

Welcome to Book Talk, Etc, 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 are sharing our thoughts on some new releases.

Content content. There you go. Yeah. Oh, okay. Thank you. Thanks Hannah for recording. We're

town tomorrow early in the morning. So thanks for being flexible. Yeah, of course. Actually. So as we talk about my impending trip, it ties nicely into my loving lately because I use my loving lately about 75 times today because, and stay with me, folks, this is going to be pretty niche, but it's such a good
