Hello! Welcome back to Books on the Brain, a podcast of what... BOOKS AND NONSENSE! NEW LOGO, WHO DIS???? Thank you all for your patience on our very early mid-season break as we did some housekeeping on our end and got our ducks in a row. Encase you missed it, Carli has decided that their time with the podcast has come to a close and they are moving on to new creative endeavours. Please go give Carli's message a listen and send love their way as they move on in their journey and spend time managing their health. You can still find them on their personal social media handles, so go give them a follow to keep up to date with all things Carli! We will miss them dearly and wish them nothing but the best with their new path forward. You will still be getting all things Books on the Brain from Deirdre and me, so make sure you are following us on our Instagram (@booksonthebrainpod) to keep up to date on all things podcast-related. You can also send us an email at booksonthebrainpod@gmail.com . Today's episode is filled with laughs, seriously... it's funny. We are bringing back one of our favourite episodes with a little twist, reading 1-star GoodReads reviews on popular books. Leave us a comment on Instagram with books you'd like to see us roast in a future episode. This episode has been locked and loaded for a while so some of the info is not up to date, so apologies in advance for that! Please don't forget to leave us a rating and review on your podcast platform of choice, it does make a difference and we love you for it!

To our listeners, Carli has decided to take a step back from the podcast. We created this passion project together over the last year and a half and it has been a labor of love for all of us. We (Danielle and Deirdre) send our support to Carli with their decision and wish them all the best on their future endeavors! Message from Carli: Hi everyone! This is Carli. I'm here to let you all know that unfortunately, I will be leaving Books on the Brain podcast. I've absolutely cherished the last year and a bit creating episodes (almost) every week that included many laughs that I'm going to miss very much. Creatively, I want to start looking down different avenues that have been tugging at me to go down. I've also run into some not-so-fun health complications that I need to give myself some time to tend to, deal with, and process. Thank you so so much to anyone and everyone who has supported the podcast in any measure, it's truly been such a fun ride and I will miss you all very much. I wish Danielle and Deirdre the best and look forward to seeing what is next in store for the Books on the Brain podcast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/booksonthebrainpod/message
