Well, hey there, and welcome to a Friday afternoon edition of TBTL this right here.

This is the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

I'm your host, Luke Burbank, this is episode 1144 in a collector's series.

You know, it's summertime, and to be totally honest, we're getting a little early start

on the weekend, producer Andrew Walsh has his parents in tow.

They've traveled all the way from Ohio out here to Seattle, and he's picking them up

at the airport, even as we speak.

I am driving to seaside Oregon to hang out with my parents and my siblings to rocket at

some ski ball down there in the boardwalk area of seaside Oregon.

And we're thinking about summertime, we're thinking about some of the fun stuff you can

do in the summertime.

And one of the best things to do is to curl up with a good book, right?

Maybe even better though, would be getting together with some of your friends and talking

about that good book, which is why we thought today we would re-air our recording from the

Sorrento Hotel in Seattle.

This was last summer, just about this time, when we had one of our famous TBTL book clubs

covering the Hunger Games.

Take a listen.

So Jen, you want to kind of, this is really, this is the third time we've done this, and

Jen is really the reader in the family, by which I mean the only literate one of us.

And so she's run these before, and they're always a big hit.

So Jen, do you want to kind of just lay out what the plan is for tonight?
