Hello all the books and all the backlist listeners it's Vanessa here managing editor and co-host of the show you may have noticed by now that we're taking a

little bit of time off to sort of regroup and refresh and possibly get ahead

on reading for next year.

There was no new episode last week and today it's just me helping on here with some sort of

announcements or reminders for the crowd and also some gratitude when I do a little bit of

ATB by the numbers.

So let's dive right in.

First, a reminder that we will be back next week

with our regularly scheduled program of new releases.

Second, just wanted to remind y'all

about a few of our more recent episodes to tide you over until we get to the new stuff,

especially because I don't know about you, but for me and December I can often fall behind on my podcast listening

because there's just so much going on with the holidays.

So as a reminder, we've got new releases in episode 441 that's talking about new books for

December, where Danica and Liberty share their picks.

December book releases in general often fly under the radar and kind of get lost in everything,

so I'd definitely give those books some love and go back and listen to that.

Episodes 442 and 443 are our favorite picks, non-fiction and fiction respectively.

I talked about non-fiction with Liberty and Tears have talked about fiction with her two of

2023. So if you're just wanting to know our picks for some of our favorites, there's so many books that we got to, some that we were excited to get to, lots of great stuff there.

If you have some gift cards to burn and they're looking for books to gift yourself or maybe you still have some

gifting to do for other people. Go back and listen to episode 439 where we talk about great books
