0:21.0	Welcome. Hello. Yes, we've coming to you from Book Riot. Welcome.
0:21.9	Hello.
0:22.6	Yes, we've just been complaining about the heat because that's where we are in our lives right now.
0:28.5	And we'll be for the next four months.
0:30.2	I was just going to say I was like not ready for it to hit this early.
0:35.1	So I was ready.
0:40.1	Well, you live in the South. I mean, it's a little bit different. Oh, yeah. When does it usually get hot for you? I mean, I don't even know anymore.

Yeah, no thanks. Okay. So this is a show, as I said, for personalized reading recommendations. How it works is you send us your reading recommendations. It's, I just said it, y'all. But why are you making me repeat myself? I'm kidding. So you can email those to us at get book to bookwrite.com or you can drop
