| 0:23.8 | Hi, this is Vivi Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast. Moms don't have time to read books. And speaking of books, I have two of my own books coming out this spring and summer. Princess Charming is a picture book, which debuts on April 19th. And Bookends, a memoir of love, loss, and literature comes out on July 1st, and it is truly a labor of love. I hope you'll pre-order, order, and join me on tour as I go across the country. |

| 1:12.9 | a student, a kid walking by on the street, anybody. But if you could do this, here is my |
| 1:19.4 | offer. If you email me your receipt showing me that you bought the book online somewhere |
| 1:25.6 | and pre-ordered it, email info at zibbyowens.com. |
