Hello and welcome to the hand cell where interesting people tell us about books they think that we should read.

I'm Jen Northington coming to you from Book Riot, and today's guest Preeti Chibber, author of Spider-Man's Social Dilemma coming out July 26th. Welcome, Preeti. Hi. I just realized that by the time this airs, the book will be out. So it's already out. You can get it. You can get it.

Great. Please buy it. I know how time works.

So anyway, this is already off to a super professional start. But it's okay because Preezy and I have known each other for a good long time.

For a very long time. And like, what this is just another. This is great because I get to see you every other week podcasting. And what this is just another this is great because I get to see you every

other week podcasting and now this is just another moment of us podcasting indeed pretty also used

to write for a book riot and for our comic site when we had panels our IP panels and yes and we also

have some side projects together and we used to live in New York and

being publishing together.

So when I was like, we're going to do an experiment, I was like, let me see a preview

ones to come on my experimental podcast.

100% yes, easy yes, always.

I'm excited, though, because you have picked out some very cool books to recommend to our listeners.

And I'm excited for the theme.

But before we get into that, let us do a quick sponsor break.

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.
