Well, welcome back to the Book Ride Podcast.

It's a weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool, and worth talking about in the world of books and reading.

We're recording, this is Jennifer Northenton and I. She's sitting in for Rebecca because I was out yesterday with drama that is neither here nor there.

And we're, Jen is stepping in for Rebecca and we're going to talk about stuff. The back half of this episode you will now

then you will hear Rebecca again with me we're doing an interview. I'm going to

you know it's going to be it's special one, a little bit different than normal,

but hang on to the back half of the episode for that, but Jen's going to talk to me about,

I'm going to, I brought Jen in, whenever Jen comes comes in I kind of have a couple of Jen questions

Usually they're about bookstore book selling related things and then science fiction and fantasy so I'm going to ask Jen to talk about what the books of the year so far have been in science

fiction and fantasy, what the new releases coming out are interested in.

We're going to talk about some supply chain.

But before I do that, I want to remind you all that we have our special experimental bonus content episode available.
