Hello everybody. Welcome back to I'll read what she's reading. I'm Reggie. I'm Michaela. And I'm Kennedy. And this is an emergency podcast recording. We had to get together ASAP as soon as the biggest news of the year was dropped.

0:23.7

Yes.

0:24.7

That Sarah J. Mess is releasing not one but two actar books within the next year.

0:34.2

Yeah. It's about time. I was not expecting that at all.

0:39.7

I was kind of, I went into it with pretty low expectations.

0:44.0

I thought if we got an guitar six announcement, it was going to be like, it's coming

0:49.2

out in the end of 2027 or something.

0:55.1

I was not expecting October, let alone, January as well.

1:00.9

I mean, I was expecting because she was going on and call her daddy now that the book would come out at some point this year.

1:07.7

But a double whammy did not see that coming.

1:11.5

I screamed. I think that was what people came to watch specifically.

1:24.1

And so, yeah, I mean, we got got our wish we got our wish that we got an announcement

1:31.9

Okay, maybe that makes sense. So it's been, that will have been like a year. Well, and also I've been seeing, I don't know if she said this exactly on the call, her daddy episode. I was a little confused on what she was talking about. The way I've seen people interpret it is that the one coming in October is going to be shorter and then the one coming in January is going to be long. The way she said it is she couldn't fit part one, two and three in one book. It couldn't be bound together. Yeah. So it had to be split. Yeah. So I think part one is the one we're getting in October and two and three is the one we're getting in January. I thought it was four parts. And then the fourth one is the next book that she's currently writing. Oh. Yeah. It's what I understood.
