0:00.0	Well, welcome back. We're in the part two of our holiday recommendation saga series.
0:08.0	Bonanza. Trevail.
0:10.0	We're going to do more recommendations. always book ride the com solution slash listen you can find the links to what we talk about also in your show notes in your podcast Player of Choice I will list all the books that we talk about.
0:23.0	Though as I said last show, you're on your own for figuring out what book they were in answer to necessarily go forth and click from there.
0:32.0	Okay, I think if we're on the Tik-Toc it is my... go forth and click from there.
0:32.6	Okay, I think if we're on the Tik-Toc, it is my,
0:35.2	it's your read for this one, and then I will give the,
