Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about post-apocalyptic bread so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate.

And for this episode, we read Year 1 by Nora Roberts.

Joining us to discuss this story of love in the time of doom is co-host of the podcast's

truer words and person with zero post-apocalyptic survival skills, Catherine Benson.

Hello. Welcome back, Catherine Benson. Hello.

Welcome back, Catherine.

Thank you.

I'm very happy to be here.

Catherine, of course, is the person who first introduced us to the world of Nora Roberts.

You're welcome.

Yes.

Sincerely thank you.

Can never thank you enough for that. Such a gift. Yes. Sincerely thank you. Can never thank you enough for that.

Such a gift has so made up for some of the other really unfortunate things we've had to read for this podcast.

Yes. Yeah, I know we've said this before. We've read Nora Roberts book since then. We're going to keep reading them. And I think I just want to start off by thanking Nora Roberts for writing so many books that are good. And I think this is kind of the flip side of what our podcast is about. I think a lot of people like, oh, they're just going to read like shitty books and

make fun of them.

And obviously, yes, we do that.

But I think the other side of it is we read books that everyone assumes will be bad

and then find out that they're not bad.

And that rules.
