I have a sticker on my computer at work that is like a little kitty being cute by a rainbow.

And it just says, just try not to fuck it up.

And I have that just sitting there staring at me while I work.

I love that.

Yes.

I would laugh.

If I came by your desk, I wasetera, a podcast bound to grow your TBR.

I'm Tina from TBR, et cetera.

And I'm Hannah from Handpicked Books.

This is a conversational podcast about books and more from two Midwest mood readers. We're easily distracted by new releases. And today, we are talking about our favorite books of 2024. If you enjoy listening, we'd love for you to follow us on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app. And if you have a quick minute, please consider leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts or sharing us on social media.

It truly helps us connect with other book lovers. Hey, everyone, as we enter 2025, we wanted to take the time to invite you to join us on Patreon.

Patreon is an online membership platform that gives you a way to financially support, book talk, et cetera.

And for $5 a month, you get access to all of our

bonus content. It's not just current content or new content. You get access to all of our

backlist content as well. And each month, you'll get access to two bonus episodes and one recorded

live event, as well as invites to our BTE Discord server and Facebook group.

And we also host a monthly community read on our Discord, which is like a text-based

book club without the pressure of being on camera.

And we've got some great things planned for the new year.

We're going to do niche novels, another installment of that where Hannah and I share overly specific book recommendations.

Our live event is going to be bookstore browsing with See Which Books in Virginia.

And the bookstore browsing is when we talk to booksellers about the bookselling experience and our patrons get some tailored book recommendations.
