0:00.0	Hey listeners, this September my online book club is doing something really fun that I want to make sure you know about.
0:07.0	The Secret Stuff Book Club meets every month over Zoom and we typically read all kinds of genres from contemporary fiction to
0:13.5	non-fiction to classics but twice a year we take a break from reading a book
0:17.8	together and instead we choose something buzzworthy to watch or listen to and

1:59.2	maybe even after I am an author.
2:03.0	Now, this is exactly the type of episode
