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

0:20.0

0:47.6

This is episode 291, and we are recording on July 15th.

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

0:52.5

Woo-hoo!

0:53.2

Yay!

1:28.7

We're recording a little early because we are both about to go on infinite video. Like just, we'll be back in September. See, no, I'm just kidding. We will have regular shows, but we are all about to go on a lot of vacation. So we. I'm excited about it. Yeah. It is always an interesting thing to record two episodes in a week. Mm-hmm. It's a lot of reading. It's a lot of reading. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, good thing we like that. I know. I was just going to say, good thing I like books, question mark. This is my job. I don't know. Okay. So for the new folks, how this show works. We are a personalized reading recommendation machine. So if you need reading recommendations for yourself or for your book club or for a gift or whatever, you can send those to

of the show notes, on the site. We are both, you know, we never to really talk about this,

1:43.4

but we are both former indie booksellers. So like this is how we scratch that itch all of these years later. So please send us your questions. Also, for episode 300, which is coming in about two months, we are going to be doing an ask us anything, ask me anything, sort of a situation. So if you have questions for us, they can be book related or not, then just send them to us,

2:15.6

Oh, okay. So here's a fun twist we discovered recently, and we probably should have realized this earlier,

based on character account.

2:29.7

So we apologize to all you listeners who have not been getting the full show notes. And since there's no way to fix that and give all of the questions and the books we recommend, instead we're going to be doing a truncated version of the show notes going forward. Well, we're going to test it out. And we'll leave a link to the full show notes on site in that short version. So you won't have it in your podcatcher, but you weren't getting
