Welcome back to the Book Riot Podcast. This is a weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool, and worth talking about in the world of books and reading.

We're recording on Thursday, July 15, 2021.

I'm Rebecca Shinsky.

She is Jeff O'Neill.

That's how this works, right?

Little Freaky Friday action.

Little role play, that's how we did it. And we're talking about book stuff this week.

Rebecca how are you? I'm good and now I'm imagining like an updated version of the

Tom Hanks movie Big where if I wake up tomorrow and I'm you I did grow like 14 inches.

It is it would be quite different I you know my daughter is eight and so she is

Tall enough where she's not like a toddler right where not every like literally the whole world is the wrong size where she's just tall enough that like getting on the stool and getting up into the cabinets

makes she means she can break things and I'm wondering like where is she going to start

topping out like she's eight so she's got a ways to go my son's quite tall

Michelle my partner she's five seven so I was like is she going to be a foot shorter than I am because that's a lot different.

Yeah, a foot shorter is a lot different.

When you were saying getting up onto the stool and climbing on the cabinets was like this is

relatable. I did that yesterday.

We're having we're now but we're going to have built-ins that go floor to ceiling, wall to wall, wall can be nice and when Michelle was penciling it out

she's like do you think we need a ladder I'm like a ladder what are you talking about

it's like to get to the top ones like what do you and I stood over then

realize that I could reach up and get into what would be the top shelf but it won't be

easy for everyone so all Jeff's books go on the top that's how we're gonna handle
