And we are here to talk about one of the biggest releases of summer, V.E. Schwab's new novel, Barry Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. We've been hearing about it for months and the three of us are convening
0:21.6	to determine whether it's good. Vanessa, Danica, thanks for joining me. I've been looking forward to
0:28.8	this all week. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I confess, I read this a couple of weeks ago before I went on
