Take a shot every time Renee says Joe Goldberg.

Welcome to Book Talk, Et cetera, a podcast bound to grow your TBR.

I'm Tina from TBR, et cetera.

And I'm Renee from its Book Talk. This is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest mood readers who are easily distracted by new releases.

Today we're sharing some of our latest reads. We'll share something that we've been loving lately

and discuss some of our latest reads that we haven't shared on the show yet.

We'll have book talk about what it means to be a mood reader and discuss how we organize our own

TBR lists. We'll wrap things up with our shelf edition. We're a new podcast, so if you like

what you hear, we'd love for you to follow us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

And if you have a quick minute, please consider leaving us a review.

It helps us find our perfect listening audience.
