AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another

AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot

to learn more. This is the Get Booked Podcast, a weekly show for personalized reading recommendations.

This is episode 227 and we're recording on April 14th.

I'm Amanda Nelson and I'm here with Jen Northington and we're coming to you from Book Riot.

Welcome.

Hello.

Week question mark of quarantine. We don't even know. We're midweek five here. Okay. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Same. And schools are closed for the rest of school year here. Oh, is that new? That's new. No, I didn't. I just assumed, but I guess they did. I was like, of course they are, but I guess

they did make an official announcement here in Pennsylvania last week. So I think, and I think it was

the same for Virginia, yeah? Yes, Virginia school closed, schools closed for the rest of the year,

like two weeks ago. And today was the first day of distance learning. So that's going to, that's

an experience for me. Let me tell you what, Because it's like, I am not going to homeschool because I can't because I'm not a teacher. I don't have a degree in education and I'm not going to pretend like I do. So that's not happening. Also, you're doing a full-time job. I am. But the county, like the school sent over video, the teachers made videos of them doing lessons and stuff that the boys are watching. It's really great. Like the school did a great job. Yeah. So we'll see how that goes. I don't know. Quarantine life. Everybody's doing the best they can. That's right. That's right. So let's see. Okay. So we need to mention that we have recorded a new trailer for Get Booked. And if you

listen to any of the big three shows from Book Great, the main show, all the books, or Get Booked, they all have new trailers. So those are going to be dropped into the feed. So you're probably going to see it, like, show up in your podcatcher. But that's just what that is. We just wanted to let you know that that's what that was. Okay, so how the show works. As I mentioned, this is a show

for personalized reading recommendations. So you can send your reading recommendation request to us via the form in the show notes on the site, where you can email them to us at get booked at bookriot.com. Excuse me. I don't have COVID. There's just something about their own time. L.O.L. If your question is time sensitive, please put that in the subject line of the email or in big letters in the first line if you're using the form so we can get to it on time. We might email you back if your question's already been answered or if we're not going to get to it on time. And we do also want to mention that we have been collecting all of our coverage of what's happening in the book world in response to the pandemic on the site. So if you are interested in what's been going on in the book world or how the book world's been affected or what's closed and what's open or all of that, you can just go to bookwryat.com and click the headline on, you know, the headline space at the top of the site, like where

a headline would go, that's where it is. And you'll get all of our coverage of it in one spot.

Okay. So we do have two pieces of feedback. Let's see, Mallory says for the reader in episode

225, who's looking for historical queer reads, I would definitely recommend Cantorres by

Carolina de Roberto follows a group of queer women in the 1970s in Uruguay.

I keep seeing recommendations for that book.
