It looks like it's recording. I see little bars like flapping in the breeze.

Welcome to Book Talk, etc. A podcast found to grow your TVR. I'm Tina from TVR, etc. And I'm Renee from its book talk.

This is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest mood readers who are

easily distracted by new releases. And today, we've decided to really lean into our love for new releases.

We'll share something that we've been loving lately,

review our latest read,

and have book talk about how and why we're easily distracted by new releases.

We'll wrap things up with our shelf edition.

If you enjoy listening, we'd love for you to follow us

on Apple Podcasts or subscribe wherever you listen. And if you have a quick

minute, please consider leaving us a review or sharing us on social media. It truly helps us

connect with other book lovers. And today we wanted to give a quick plug at the top of our show

for our Patreon page. If you're interested in bonus content from us, head to

patreon.com slash book talk, et cetera. For $5 a month, you'll get access to our master spreadsheet,

our member only Facebook page, and bonus episodes, such as books we disagree on and books we did not

finish. Now is a great time to join because in the month

of November, we are hosting our very first book talkers mood reader happy hour. Since we are mood readers

that don't like to be pressured into reading a specific title for book club, we thought it would be

fun to have everyone bring their own latest read and feel free to bring a

snack or a cocktail with you. And a big heartfelt thank you to those that have already joined us

on Patreon. You guys truly do make this podcast possible. Hi, Renee. Hey, how are you? And I second

everything you just said. Oh, also, we did have an idea about if everyone has a favorite cocktail that they wanted to bring or a drink or a specialty coffee, even though it's going to be in the evening.
