Hi, this is Libby Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast, Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

I'm also the host of Moms Don't Have Time to Lose Weight, and I'm the editor of the anthology,

which you should run out and buy called Moms Don't Have Time to, a quarantine anthology.

All proceeds of that book go to COVID-19 vaccine research.

And I'm the editor-in-chief of M don't have time to write a new publication on Medium.

And we're accepting submissions.

So please send your personal essays there.

And if all that isn't enough, you can follow me on Instagram at Zibby Owens.

Okay, now back to this amazing podcast.

Jenny Lawson is the author of Broken in the best possible way. Jenny is an award-winning humorist, known for her great candor

in sharing her struggle with mental illness. She lives in Texas with her husband and daughter

and was constantly, quote, buying too many books, which she insists is not a real thing, So she decided to skip the middleman and just open her own bookshop, which also serves booze

because, as she says, books and booze are what magic is made of.

She has previously written, let's pretend this never happened, and furiously happy, both of

which were number one New York Times bestsellers.

She also wrote, You Are Here, which she says inexplicably made it number one New York Times bestsellers. She also wrote, You Are Here,

which she says inexplicably made it onto the New York Times bestseller list in spite of the

fact that it was basically a very fun coloring book. She would like to be your friend. I can't

even read this. Forget it. She says she realizes this whole paragraph is precisely the reason she shouldn't be allowed to write her own bio.

Thank you, Jenny.

That was just a perfect foreshadowing of the hilarious and awesome conversation we had.
