| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm Sarah of the blog Sarah's Bookshelves. Each week I'm |
| 0:10.8 | talking with one bookish guest about two old books they love, two new books they love, one book they |
| 0:16.9 | don't love, and one new release they're excited about. We're going to get real and sometimes a |
| 0:22.0 | little bit snarky about all things books. This is a brand new podcast. So if you like it, I'd really |
| 0:28.1 | love your support. Please spread the word to your reader friends. Subscribe to the show and rate and review it |
| 0:33.6 | wherever you listen to podcasts. Let's get rolling. Hey everyone, welcome to the first ever |

| 1:29.8 | Welcome, Katie. |
| 1:30.6 | Hi, it's so great to talk to you. |
| 1:32.3 | Thanks for being the first guest and guinea pig for these mini episodes. |
| 1:36.2 | I'm so excited. |
| 1:37.3 | Tell us a little bit about your reading taste so we can put your recommendations in a broader context. |
| 1:41.9 | I read a little bit of everything. I tend to read a lot of thrillers, |
| 1:46.0 | and then I kind of break it up with some rom-coms. I do a lot of historical fiction, nonfiction. |
