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

This is episode 277, and we are recording on April 13th.

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

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

Do you know that every time it hits the 13th of the month, my brain is like, is it Friday? Like, I just, I don't know why. It's like Friday of the 13th doesn't happen that often. No. But now anytime it's the 13th, my brain wants to be like, it's Friday. It's not Friday, though.

It's not. Guess what? It's not Friday. It's like far from Friday. It's not even close to Friday. But it is the 13th. There's some kind of trick to that. What is it?

for personalized reading recommendations. The way that this works is you ask us for reading recommendations and we give them to you. That's it. Goodbye. Have a good day. So you can email us your reading recommendation request at get booked at bookwrite.com or drop them in the form in the show notes on the site. These can be requests for you. If you would like a book recommended to you or if you need something for your book club or for a gift, anything is fine and dandy.

If your question is time sensitive, like you're going on a trip and you want to bring a book or it's for a birthday or whatever, just put that in the subject line of the email.

And if we're not going to get to your question in time or if we've already answered it on the show, we will email you back.

Okay, we have a few pieces of feedback today.

The first one from Wendy, who said, in time, or if we've already answered it on the show, we will email you back.

Okay, we have a few pieces of feedback today.

The first one from Wendy, who says she has two wrecks for Sylvia, who was looking for queer family reads, The Language of Hoofbeats by Catherine Ryan Hyde, which is about two moms

and their foster kids, and the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins

Reed, which is amazing and has a queer found family at the heart.

Is that a spoiler? No. I guess not by now. Oh. Hmm. Maybe we should take that out.

I don't, having not read the book, I have heard so much about that book's queer representation in
