Wait a minute. Did I lose you? It's okay. I'm out of breath.

Welcome to Book Talk, Etc, 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. And today, we're really leaning into that and giving you an

advanced screening of books that will release in the next couple of months. We'll share something that we've

been loving lately, review our latest read, and share our thoughts on a few books coming out

in the next three months that we've already read. If you enjoy listening, we'd love for you to

follow us on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app. And if you have a quick minute, please consider leaving us a

review on Apple Podcasts or sharing us on social media. It truly helps us connect with other book lovers.

Hi, Tina. Hey, Renee. How are you? I'm doing good. How are you? I am good. Hey, everyone. It is the first

Tuesday of the month, so we wanted to take the time to invite you to join the book talk, etc. Patreon.

Our Patreon community means so much to us and literally your support allows us to do this and to take on

bigger projects. So we thank you. If you want to join us for $5 a month, you will get access to

all of our bonus content. Starting in March, we'll be welcoming our first second year spoilers guest.

Second year spoilers is a conversation that we host where we talk to an author

about their book that came out last year and get into spoiler conversation about the plot. It will be

hosted via Zoom, and I'm excited to announce that author Carolla Lovering will join us to talk about

her book, Too Good to Be True. And this is a book both Renee and I loved.

And that patron's only event will take place on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7 p.m. Central via Zoom,

and will be recorded and released as a bonus episode.

And in February, we'll be hosting our first backlist book club meeting.
