You're listening to all the books, a weekly show of recommendations and

enthusiasm regarding the week's new book releases. This is episode 253 and

today we are talking about books being released on March 31st, 2020 and more. I'm Liberty Hardy

here with Patricia Elsie Tuttle and we're coming to you from bookriot.com.

Hey there! Hey! How are you? I'm doing the best I can. How are you doing? The same, the same, I actually, and actually honestly better than I expected I would be doing?

Not because I have a problem staying in the house.

We all know that that's my favorite thing to do.

But just like, you know, with worry, I expected by now

you'd see me on the news on the roof with my cats yelling at you know the sky but

Same same I feel like I'm better than I expected to be doing I I was expecting a lot of like hiding in pillow forts having meltdowns and that's only happened like one time in the past two weeks.

So yeah, yeah, it's it's been okay. You know, I guess that's all it can be right now, so.

And, yeah, I touched on this last week, but, you know, it feels good to know that we're all in it together

in some ways, so that's all I can say about it absolutely you

know lots of I have lots of books which is nice yeah lots books. A lot of friends are picking up old things that they used to do, like someone I know has started playing piano again and someone I know has dusted off her point shoes and is doing ballet exercises and I've also been like oh maybe I should pick up my ukulele. So people are keeping busy. Yeah. So we're going to talk about some books that come out today for the time being until things go back to normal whatever normal will be

We're I'm just gonna give out this like blanket caveat that release dates are changing all the time some publishers are pushing dates

Some are not. We are trying to get as much of that information figured out. And by we, I mean me, I've been updating the new release index to

reflect new dates and

dates and checking all these dates but there might be some books here

that we talk about that you know are not out today next week when the show

actually airs so I just want to say that before we start and also

mention that there are a lot, like I said, a lot of dates changing and a lot of things going

on in ways you can support and do bookstores, you know, library closures, that kind of stuff.
