Bean's Booklist is ready and here for you in the show notes. All you have to do is click on it

and you'll be whisked away to titles upon titles of categorized books and specific genres.

We've got fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, romance, thrillers, mysteries, YA, faith-based, even the classics.

I hate Green Bean's listener, Karen, suggested I do an entire episode about this list, and I thought it would be a good idea to bring in my friend Katha, who is an avid book reader to peruse the list and tell us which ones are not to miss.

I'll have a list of Katha's picks in the show notes as well. to peruse the list and tell us which ones are not to miss.

I'll have a list of Cathis Picks in the show notes as well.

You'll want to check hers out, and I'll also have a list of my favorite books.

As you can imagine, they swing young adult and romance and anything with Mindy Kling's name on it.

Hey, everyone, I'm Lindsay, and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast.

During each episode, I'll be discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends

who love pop culture as much as I do.

For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise, and no,

I do not want to try your grandmother's

famous green bean cassero recipe. But thanks for offering. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It's episode 217 of the I Hate Green Beans podcast. I'm your host Lindsay. I am here with my good friend

Katha who's going to talk books with me today. Katha, how are you? Great. Thanks for asking.

Oh, of course. I want you to tell everybody this is your first time on the podcast, which feels weird

that it's gone so long and you haven't been on.

But tell everybody how we know each other and what the deal is and who you are and why

you're so great.

Okay.
