Everybody's got COVID.

Oh, geez.

That's kidding.

Everybody's coffee.

Oh, my God.

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

I'm Tina from TBR, et cetera. And I'm Renee from It's Book Talk, Et cetera, a podcast bound to grow your TBR. I'm Tina from TBR, et cetera.

And I'm Renee from its book talk. This is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest nude readers who are easily distracted by new releases. And today, we're sharing some books

that feature family dynamics. We'll share something that we've been loving lately, review our latest read, and have

book talk about why we'd love to read family dramas.

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

podcast or sharing us on social media. It truly helps us connect with other book lovers.

But, you know, I was out. Yeah, when you go out, it's hard to avoid colds, I guess. I don't know. I've managed to do it for the last few winters. So now it's caught up with me.

Lily had something right around Christmas. I was like, oh, Lord, here we go. But she, she kicked it pretty quick. She rallied. Yeah, her little medicine. She was okay. But, you know, we're in a new year now. So far, I feel fine. But, you know, I'm sure that can change on a dime. It feels nice, though, to get a little bit back into the swing of things. Oh, for sure. And actually, I don't know. I feel like I'm trying to get in the swing of reading and get in the flow of 2022. But I'm actually, I have some backlists lined up.
