0:00.0	Hi, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to the Astrology podcast.
0:03.9	In this episode, I'm going to be talking with Molly Pennington about the six best astrology
0:08.6	books for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of astrology.
0:13.3	So hey Molly, thanks for joining me today.
0:15.4	Hi Chris, I'm so happy to be here.
0:18.4	Yeah, this is a little bit of an impromptu discussion, but so the setup is that you are doing
0:25.2	an assignment for Reader's Digest where you're putting together a list of the best astrology

1:20.5	This is going to be depending on when it's published my third or fourth article on astrology
1:26.4	for Reader's Digest. For many years, I've worked as a freelance writer, and I've written,
1:31.7	I think it's safe to say, hundreds of articles for online and print magazines,

1:42.8	because I just fell in love with this topic about 18 months ago, maybe a little bit more.
1:47.7	Okay, perfect. Well, this is good timing then, and your website is mollypennington.com, right?
