Hi guys. Welcome back to Al Rood, she's reading. I'm Kennedy. I'm Michaela. And I'm Reggie.

And today we are spilling some tea because you guys gave us your bookish confessions. And we're about to see what saucy stuff you

submitted. I mean, I've only glanced at them, but some of these are like diabolical.

Ooh. Yeah. We can't believe some of you. I haven't looked at a lot, but I've only looked at one.

And I, my jaw's on the ground, reading it.

Do you guys have any bookish confessions? Maybe this isn't like in the realm of what people

submitted. Oh no. But I've never told you guys this, but it doesn't matter because I don't even

remember. I'm scared. But when Michaela first said on the podcast that she had read Manacold,

I was like, I'm never going to read that. And I went and read a whole synopsis of everything that

happened in Manicold. Do not remember anything I read. Wait, so you did that before you're reading

Manichold, then you read Manichton and you didn't remember any of it.

Yeah, isn't that weird? How did you not remember anything? I don't know. Isn't that so weird? Like, I just remember being like, I'll never read that. It's like so long. It's a fan fiction. Like, I'll never. And I went and read the whole, like a whole synopsis of it. And it took me like 45 minutes to read it.

And I just remember being like, eh, okay. And now that's like your favorite book of all time. Yeah. So I am just so glad that my memory was wiped. And, um, wow. I got to have a, a lot of people would wish for that. A Hermione slash Helena moment. Literally the only thing I remember was that there was a Pegasus. Hmm. That's the only thing I remember reading from the synops is when I was like, started to read Manicold. So that's my bookish confession for you. Interesting. I spoiled Manicold for myself and I forgot about it. How long, how much time had passed? I don't know. I'm trying to think you read it in the summer, right?

July, July. Because then I read it a year ago. Because I think I read it a year ago because it was the, I started reading it at our retreat.

Oh, yeah. It was July of 2023 for me. So that would have been like over, like just over a year.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's my bookish confession. I don't know if that's really a confession. That's pretty hot. Yeah, that's pretty hot and steamy over here. Do you guys have any? I'm trying to think. I'll think of some when we. I feel like I've already confessed everything to you guys all the time.

Confess your sense.

Well, you guys know I like going into books blind.

I'm trying to think if there's anything absolutely diabolical that I've done.

No, I don't think I have...

I've thought about, like, wondering if you guys have skipped the book club books and just like sparks no one in it.

I actually have never done that. I don't think you guys would, but I was like, I wonder if like,
