| 0:47.5 | Welcome to The Hand Cell, a special weekly installment of Get Booked that's all about books that we can't resist shouting about. |

| 1:01.2 | 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 |

The Fixed Stars came out in August, the beginning of August, from Molly Weisenberg. If you're unfamiliar with Molly Weisenberg's work, she's actually a food writer. She was a really famous blogger, like one of the original, maybe, big food bloggers. Her blog was called The Orangette. And she wrote a memoir called Delancey several years ago about opening a pizza restaurant with her husband that I read, you know, when I came out several years ago. And it was great.
