You're listening to Reading Glasses, a show about book culture and literary life designed

to help you read better.

I'm author and book devour, Mallory O'Mara, and I'm Bria Grant, filmmaker and e-reader.

This episode, it's the episode, y'all are all looking forward to everyone loves it.

out, get ready to add stuff to your good reads list, get it all ready because we're going

to give you our favorite books of the year.
