Welcome to Zero to Well Read, a podcast about everything you need to know about the books you wish you read.

I'm Jeff O'Neill.

And I'm Rebecca Shinsky.

Today we're preparing to turn the page, turn the page on a new year.

We've got tips to help you meet your reading goals in 26.

Before we jump in, though, just want to remind you, you can click the link in the show notes to sign up for our free newsletter,

gives you rich details about what we talked about in addition to extra resources, or you can become a member to get early ad-free episodes, sneak peeks at the reading list, and bonus content.

That's at patreon.com slash zero to well-read.

If you wanted to there in those, in that their podcast player you've got in your hand,

and you can see the show notes, there's links to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube content,

which is coming a little, we're just doing a little bit dribs and drabs right now, but in

2026.

We plan on doing quite a bit more there.

Thank you all for listening. I hope you're having

a terrific holiday season by the time that gets to you. We'll be through one holiday on the

precipice of another. And maybe you find yourself with some time in this sort of interstitial

moment to rate and review wherever you're listening. Zero to Well Red. Hit those five

stars right there in the app. Starting to get some nice emails. You can shoot you some email at zero to well read at bookwrite.com. We love to hear from people. Yeah, and we're going to be wrapping up in some the newsletters. Maybe we'll do some mailbag episodes, listener feedback. Because of the way we're recording, we'll record ahead of time. By the time you get your feedback, it's like not the next episode we can respond to it. So it doesn't really make sense to have an immediate listener feedback section. But got a really nice email from someone about Secret History and Hitchcock, which was really long and detailed. And I want to respond to and find a way to share.

So keep them coming. People's gears are turning, and we want to turn those gears along with you.
