You're listening to all the books, a weekly show of recommendations and

enthusiasm regarding the week's new book releases. This is episode 236 and

today we are talking about great books to give as gifts for the holidays. I'm Liberty Hardy here with Tears of

Price and we're coming to you from bookryat.com. How's it going?

It's going great how about with you? Pretty good. I've been super lazy. It's like not as

many things go on in the world of books and publishing at the end of the year so I've had a little more time to read

and watch elementary which I talk about all the time so I won't bore anybody with that but

oh my goodness it's so good. I've never watched it but your recommendations are usually

solid so I should give it a shot. It's you know I had a lot of like things that I

prejudged before I even saw it, you know, so it has not done many of those things, which I really appreciate.

Also, it has Riesa Fans, who I think is like one of the sexiest men on the planet which is he's just a weird pasty blonde

guy British guy but for some reason I don't know man he's just he's awesome so we are going to talk about great

books that you can give us gifts this year before we do that I want to tell you

about our first sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by National Geographic Books.

National Geographic Erbil is a beautifully illustrated guide to 100 of the world favorite herbs, featuring backyard

weeds like dandelion and red clover, culinary herbs like rosemary and garlic, and classics

like blueberries and kamomile, among many more. You can discover a deeper knowledge of the

wonder of plants and their many healing properties with it and National Geographic herbal is available

now wherever books are sold. So it's really interesting because it has information on every medicinal

herb and it blends traditional wisdom with current laboratory findings

which is something I feel that we don't see too much of.
