Hey everyone, I'm Andy here. I just wanted to drop in a quick note that when I recorded this episode of the Handsell, it was at the very end of April. I record my episodes in one big batch for the month. And the news about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe had not been announced yet. Of course, it shouldn't have been because that was a leak. So I wasn't

predicting knowing whether or not they were going to overturn it that quickly. So in this episode

where I'm recommending a book about the topic of abortion, I mentioned waiting for that

decision to be handed down because it wasn't supposed to come until the summer. So I just wanted

to drop a note that, you know, this might sound a little bit outdated, but everything that I say

about the book and its relevance remains true. And that's it. All right, here we go. Hello, Get Booked listeners.

Welcome to The Handsell, a special weekly installment of Get Booked that's all about books that we just can't resist shouting about.

This is Amanda Nelson, and today's Hand Cell is Life's Work by Willie Parker.

Let's hear from our sponsor.

This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth. This year, I'm getting really intentional about resetting my home, especially my evening routine, because that five to nine window is the part of the day that really matters to me.

I've been building this little nightly ritual with Cozy Earth, and honestly,

it's becoming my favorite part of the day. I start with a bubble bath. Obviously, I'm reading a great

book, and then I wrap up in one of their Lux bath towels, which are so unbelievably soft, but they also

dry you off really quickly. After that, I slip into Cozy Earth's bamboo stretch-knit pajamas,

which are the kind of comfort that feels effortless and still looks put together. And then there's

the bedding. Climbing into fresh, luxurious sheets at the end of the night makes my entire space

feel calmer. It's the easiest way to signal to my body that it's time to slow down, to rest deeply, and to reset for the next day. Cozy Earth also makes it easy to try. There's a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty, which says a lot about their quality.
