The hold that this show had on me.

Welcome to Book Talk, Et cetera, a podcast bound to grow your TBR.

I'm Tina.

And I'm Renee.

And this is a conversational podcast about books and more from two

Midwest mood readers who are easily distracted by new releases. And this week, we're sharing some

thoughts on some new releases. If you enjoy listening, we love for you to follow us on Apple Podcast

or subscribe on your favorite podcast app. And if you have a minute, please consider leaving us a review

or rating on Apple Podcasts or sharing us on social media. All of this truly helps other booklovers

find us. Hey, everyone. It is the start of a new month, so we wanted to take the time to invite you to

join us on Patreon. Patreon is an online membership platform that gives you a way to financially support our

podcast. For $5 a month, you get access to all of our bonus content.

And you should be excited because we're actually changing things up a little bit for

2024 and introducing something new.

This is going to replace our bi-monthly BTE book club. We have a feeling

people are going to really enjoy it. We are leaning into our love for bookstore browsing.

And every other month, Renee and I will interview a bookseller and ask us to bring them into

their bookstore. We're going to chat about their store, regional bestsellers, the bookselling process,

and more.

And best of all, we will be taking our patrons requests into account.

So before the event, we will ask our patrons to request the type of book that they're looking

for and we'll have our bookseller friends share personalized recommendations to our patrons in the form of a bonus episode.
