I mean, she went nowhere. She's just taking some time off. Okay, yeah, I figured it was something like that. I just remember on Friday, no, on Thursday she was like, I forgot that I took next week off. You need to find somebody. I think Jen is spending some quality time with her couch and her cats and, you know, just letting her brain rest. Great. Well, we're going to

talk about books and things. Well, I guess I should. Do people not know who you are? I don't know. I don't know. I've never been on this show before. Is that real? How is that possible? Maybe one time, like, years ago? Maybe. I think I might have been on this once. It's been a long, long time. All right. So for y'all who don't know, Rebecca is my boss. And also the host of the bookgryat podcast, our big main show with Jeff O'Neill, where they talk about what's happening in the world of books. And it's not gossipy. It sounds gossipy when you say it like that, but it's not gossipy. I mean, occasionally it's a little gossipy. Right. Well, you know, Jeff is a gossip. It's true.

It's true. He's famous for... I'm just kidding. I don't know. So go check out that show. And she has agreed to help us with this week's questions. Okay, so before we get to it, how the show works. As I mentioned, this is a show for personalized reading recommendations. So if you need one for yourself or for, you know, your book club that's meeting on Zoom, God bless you, or for a gift or whatever, you can send those to us to email them to us at get book to book guide.com. You can also drop your questions in the form, which is in the show notes on the site. If your question is time sensitive, please put that in the subject line. If you're emailing us, if you're using the form, just put it in big letters in the first line, so we'll get to it on time. We might email you back if we've already answered your question on the show, or if we are not going to get to it on time, and that is why we ask for your email address. Okay, we have three items of feedback here. One is from Kate who says, Alicia's partner might want to check out the river by Peter Heller, which is a thriller about two college buddies who go on a canoe trip. Nevada Bar also has a whole series of murder mystery set in national parks featuring a park ranger named Anna Pigeon. I do not know what the request was that led to this feedback, but I'm glad to be here today because this is also

my wheelhouse, and I will second that emotion for the river. It is excellent. And a pigeon.
