Hey, everybody.

372 pages will never get back.

Connor Lestoka here,

joined by Mike Nelson.

This is the podcast where we read terrible books.

Well, books we think we're not going to like.

They're not all terrible.

This one was all right, Mike.

What do you think?

Oh, yeah. I'm on board. I'm in the cozyverse now. Sad to leave the cozyverse behind?

I am sad. I mean, we have an inkling of what we might be doing next, so I'm still, I'm excited for what comes next,

but I'm sad to leave the cozyverse for sure. Yeah, it's like when you're in a ski lodge or something or, you know, the house you rent to go skiing and you're like having a great time, you're sipping a hot drink, you're sort of wearing a cable knit sweater. There's a fire roar against someone's like, hey, like let's hit the slopes. And you're like, I was actually pretty, pretty comfortable here.

Like, let's just, let's stick here.

Let's not wait into Ernest Klein and, you know, the rest of the Tech War series.

Let's, let's stay here.

Can't you see by the fact that I'm sitting in a yoga pose on a oxblood chair and my legs are, my arms are sort of crossed cozzily over myself

that I don't want to move. Come on. You've got like a chime in the background. There's a little,

a little box of sand that you can rake if you're feeling a little tense or something.

Right, right. And speaking of coziness, who was the person who sent the lovely tea?

I received my gift of tea.

Oh, no.

Carrie, Carrie with a K.
