This is the bookwry podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neill.

And I'm Rebecca Shinsky.

And we're doing it. August.

We are. It's the dog days, like literally and spiritually right now, I think.

Yeah, I know we said that last time, but it remains to be the guy.

I've already shifted my headspace to the fall because I'm going New York for work and I'm sitting at meetings. I'm diving into catalogs. Like, we've got some other stuff come on the horizon. We're getting ready for. Like, it does feel a little bit of spin-wheeliness. I have like whatever the inverse of senioritis is where you're like waiting for the

first two weeks of school to happen.

It's the end of summer.

We have a bunch of things happening in early September and I'm just kind of like waiting,

just waiting to get into those things.

So late August, I mean, it is what it is.

We got Catabas is coming out in like a week

and a half. So that is exciting. Finally get to the big book of the summer, maybe the big novel

of the year, we'll find out. But yeah, we're just kind of chugging along right now. Hope everybody

out there is hanging in there too. A family in town. We were talking about favorite movies. We've been slowly, as the kids

are now, to a place where we can open up another, you know, another tranche of our favorite

movies and classics. I was talking about, I was talking about dad some of his favorite movies,

and he mentioned Goodwill Hunting and Dead Poets Society. He's like, oh, I think they get to

join me on my

annual dead poet society yes it's on netflix now okay well you know not all of us have a VHS

no I'm kidding I do have physical media for dead poets but it's it's almost time we're gonna get

one cool day and I'm like all right kids it's time to cry your eyes. And you didn't even wait until fall to show them when Harry met Sally, because I got a very exciting text the other day that you were introducing the kids to one of our shared favorites. Yeah, we just sort of just, I mean, this is one I think Michelle and I hadn't watched it together in a long time and like, let's go. Rowan's current, I think her current favorite movie she said is while you were sleeping. The 1995, Sandra Bullock sort of Chicago mini classic at this point. But then, and we showed them four weddings and a funeral. So like the rom-com backlist is coming open. It's like, okay, finally we have to show this.
