I will say, we've been talking about this song all week in our office and now here on stage, and none of us but Shane had the guts to actually try to sing it.

So there you go.

Congratulations, Shane.

Thank you so much for calling and playing with us.

Thank you so much.

Bye-bye.

And now the game we call Not My Job.

Almost as soon as it was published, Carol Claire Burke's novel Yesteryear was declared the book of the summer.

The story of a trad wife influencer who has to survive after being transported mysteriously to the 1850s was an instant bestseller.

It's already being developed into a movie starring Anne Hathaway.

And we're so excited, Carol Claire Burke is joining us here on what is undoubtedly the NPR News Quiz of the summer.

Carol Claire Burke, welcome to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Thank you.

It's a pleasure to talk to you.

I devoured your book this week like millions of other people really enjoyed it.

It's a thrill to talk to you.

I would summarize the book as trad wife gets tradded.

That's me.

How would you do it?

Because I imagined, and I have no idea how it actually happened, that when you first came up with the idea, it was so simple.
