0:00.0	Hey readers, we are popping in at the beginning of this episode because we have something
0:06.6	extra special that we want to ask of you. We have our annual survey going out. This is, of course,
0:14.7	you know what a survey is. We're going to ask you a bunch of questions about currently reading.
0:18.5	What do you like? What do you not like? What do you wish we did more of? And what do you wish we would stop doing entirely? We take these surveys very
0:26.8	seriously. And your feedback as a regular listener is super important to us. So we don't just want to
0:34.7	hear from our bookish friends. Of course, we want to hear from you guys too.
0:37.8	But regular listener, listener who is not a bookish friend, we are talking to you here.
0:43.1	We want your feedback because we make decisions, Katie, about our show largely based on this
0:49.8	feedback. It really does shape what we do at currently reading. Yes, we have always wanted this to feel like

1:26.5	honest feedback and opinions. We can't
1:28.7	wait to see what you have to say. Yeah, like in a perfect world, we know you're really excited.
1:33.7	You're really excited because we are too, to listen to Roxanna and Mary talk about their best books of
1:38.5	2025. Have that be your treat for filling out the survey. Like pause right now and go fill out the survey. It's not long
1:46.7	and it's not arduous, but it is so important to us. And I just want to underscore again,
1:52.5	completely anonymous. We are not going to know who is saying what. So that's important.
1:59.2	Yes, absolutely. We will love to hear from you.
