0:00.0	Hello everyone. Welcome back to working title. Welcome back to working title. I am your host, Margo. I know it might feel like I have completely abandoned you, but I've been thinking about you basically every day and thinking
0:22.9	about what we can chat about.
0:25.4	And I know that I'm long overdue something that I promised before 2024 ended, which is what
0:31.4	we're going to do today because better late than never, which is a run through of the books
0:36.7	that I read in 2024. I'm actually really impressed with how many
0:40.8	books I read. I read 20 books in 2024, which is probably the most books I have read in a single
0:48.9	year since I was reading picture books. So I'm really proud of that. And I have a lot of thoughts to share.
0:55.1	So I'm really excited to get to that.

1:29.3	asked questions, since I've gotten here, I do not currently have a visa. That's something that I'm
1:34.6	working out, but I'm on a tourist visa. I am living in central London and my boyfriend lives in
1:40.3	Bristol. And it is that way because we both want to be living in those two places.
1:45.6	And I'm absolutely loving it. I am really happy to be here. It's very cold and very gray, but I knew
1:57.4	this going into it, and it's not much better in New York. I mean, New York does get sunny days
2:03.0	and I'm certainly missing seeing blue skies and whenever you see a little slice of blue when you look
2:10.9	up, it's something that you certainly do not take for granted here. And the cliches are true.
