All right, welcome back to the Book Riot Podcast.

Seems like I haven't done this in a while.

It's only been two weeks, but I'm so used to every week,

and then we had the bonus episodes more than that,

so 10, 12 days off, it feels like you've been I don't know a six

month cruise on the USS Eisenhower or something so much happens in a two-week

period right now to that it it does feel like a really long time.

Glad you're back.

Yes, thank you so much.

Listen to you and Amanda thought it was really nice

and interesting and heartfelt and important episode last week. So I'm glad I'm glad that she was

in my stead I think she she was bright on so many things and I had a lot to think

about coming out of that episode too as we all I think are thinking about a whole bunch of different stuff.

Yeah, before we get started we want to ask you listeners if you would be willing to do us a little favor, take a little survey, to tell us about

yourself, helps us understand who the audience is and also helps us understand what kinds of advertisers might be a good fit what kind of sponsors on the show

it'll only take a few minutes you can check out the questions and enter to win an e-reader at bookriot.com

slash 2020 survey. So if you would do that for us we'd appreciate it. We sure would. And before that let's do a sponsor break and we'll

get into to news and some other things.

Today's episode is brought to you by ICON and Inferno by Marie Lou.

Perfect for fans of Nicola Eun and Ali Carter.

The dazzling sequel to Number One New York Times best-selling author, Marie Lou's Stars and Smoke,

is a brilliant and breathtaking ride.
