I'm ready to party.

Party.

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

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 this week, we lead into our love of new releases and read a few. 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 book lovers.

Hey, Hannah. Hey, Tina. How's it going? I mean, we are fine. We're recording, you know, we've got a couple

marathon recording days in a row, but I am enjoying it. I'm digging our, you know,

cadence.

New cadence. Exactly what I was thinking. Yes, yes. Me too. Yes, it's been fun seeing so

much of you and getting to talk so much

and getting ahead. It has felt really, really nice. Yeah, and we also did a live, it was last week,

which feels like a really long time ago, but we did a live reading sprint with our patrons.

We're doing another one at the end of the month. We're doing a bookstore browse on the main show

in a couple weeks. So I feel like we've just got so many fun things coming up for the podcast. And I was sent from Buzz Sprout,

which is our host. It said, congratulations. This year will mark your fifth year of book talk,

etc. And I'm like, huh, what do you mean? Five years. Banana pants. I'm like,

how do you mean five years? Time is weird. It doesn't exist, but I'm so happy to have been on
