| 0:29.9 | hello all the books listeners. |
| 0:42.0 | Vanessa here to let you know that we are on a break. |
| 0:45.2 | We generally take these last couple of weeks of the year to take a break across most of our |
| 0:49.3 | book riot podcasts, all the books, of course, being one of them. |
| 0:52.2 | We're taking this little break to kind of regroup and refresh and do some reading and be back in a couple of weeks with our regularly |
| 0:57.8 | scheduled programming. But we aren't going to be leaving you in the lurch. We will have other |
| 1:02.0 | episodes dropping into this feed when you would normally expect to listen to all the books |
| 1:05.8 | or all the more books. And today's episode is another one from our zero to well-read podcast. You would have heard an |
| 1:12.6 | episode from this podcast a couple of weeks ago, I think, at this point, one that was a deep dive |
| 1:17.5 | into one of Liberty's favorite books, and that is The Secret History by Donna Tart. Today, I am |
| 1:22.7 | dropping a different episode that I hope you will appreciate for its seasonal appropriateness, |
| 1:27.4 | and that is an episode where Jeff and Rebecca discuss A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It's such a good episode, and my favorite part of it, of course, being that there is just a standing section of the podcast, where Jeff and Rebecca ask whether this book could be turned into a Muppet adaptation. And hey, how great is that? We already know the answer. And it's great. It's one of my favorite movies of all times. So thank you so much for listening to all the books. We hope that you enjoy this episode of the Zero to Well Read podcast. If you do enjoy it, you can subscribe to that wherever you get your podcasts. So yes, enjoy this deep dive into Dickensian lore. and we will catch you with our next sort of feed drop on Friday when you would normally be listening to all the more books. Thanks again. Enjoy. |
