| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live. I'm Sarah of Sarah's bookshelves. Each week, I talk with a bookish |
| 0:15.6 | guest about two old books they love, two new books they love, one book they do not love, |
| 0:21.9 | and one new release they're excited about. |
| 0:23.6 | We're going to get real and sometimes a bit snarky about all things books. |
| 0:27.7 | If you like the show, I'd love it if you follow the show in your podcast player, spread |
| 0:32.2 | the word to your reader friends, post about it on your social media, or support the show on Patreon at patreon.com slash Sarah's |

| 0:47.6 | goodies. There's also a link in the show notes and in my Instagram bio. Let's get rolling. |

| 1:27.5 | town for a little bit. And editors don't really work around the holidays. So anyway, that's where we are. |
| 1:34.1 | So today, we are going to be highlighting books that we are excited about that are coming out from January |
| 1:39.3 | through March, 2023. And Catherine, any themes with your picks today? I didn't think I had a theme, |
