Hi, everyone back to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia Mentor.

And today we are talking about backlist books. Yes, it is pouring rain outside right now, very gloomy.

And it feels like the perfect day to just chat about books that we can all go to our local library and hopefully

check out right now. Oh yeah, big library energy weather today. Oh, yes. Well, let's get into some

highs and lows first. Tell me your high. My high is just that I've had a really fun week of

social plans. I went to go see a really great new musical on Tuesday,

which we'll get into in Obsessions. I had fun lunch plans with a friend who's between jobs.

I had another friend visiting from out of town and we got Manny Petty's. I went to go see a friend's

new apartment last night. Like I just feel like I've

had all of these fun social plans, but I'm managing to do it alongside getting good book writing done.

And I feel like all of my plates are spinning in the best way in a way that I feel like I've

found really difficult for the past, like since the beginning of this year. Like I feel like I've found really difficult for the past, like, since the beginning

of this year, like, I feel like I can only do one or the other. And so, yeah, I feel really good.

Good. I love that feeling when you, like, go to sleep at night and you just feel like life is so

full and you feel like tired in a good way. You know, you're like my brain is tired,

my body's tired. Like I feel loved going to sleep. It's a good feeling. Yeah. That's so great.

What about you? What's your high? My high is like kind of the opposite, actually, in a way.

But it's just that I've had a really boring week. And I had a few social weeks before that, which were great.

But it's just been very quiet.

It's been a lot of days of rain, some pretty days too, just a lot of days sitting in my laptop, watching the rainfall.

The garden is so green because of all the rain, which is so nice.

And it's just been nice.
