Okay. Welcome to Book Talk, etc.

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 today, we're leaning into that and sharing our thoughts on some new releases.

If you enjoy listening, we'd love for you and sharing our thoughts on some new releases.

We hope you had a wonderful new year's and you're excited for 2023. So before we begin the show,

we wanted to take the time to invite you to join us on Patreon. Part of our 2020 goal is to really grow our Patreon and we'd be so honored if you would consider joining us.

Our Patreon group is such a wonderful community, and we're excited to bring you even more great content this year.

Joining our Patreon is a great way not only to interact with us on a deeper level, but to connect with other readers.

And it's so fun watching

everybody chat with each other on Facebook and in Discord. And it's only $5 a month. And for that

price, you get access to everything we have created as bonuses since we started it, as well as anything

we'll create as long as you're a subscriber. This has been our first official year of our Patreon

and our patrons got 10 live events, 20 newsletters, and 23 bonus episodes, not to mention our

Facebook group, Discord, and audiobook narrator guide. That is a lot of content and there's more to come.
