0:00.0	Welcome to Literary Friction. I'm K Plitt, here as always with my co-host, Octavia Bright.
0:27.5	Hi, Octavia. How are you doing? Hi, Carrie. I am here with actually an imaginary
0:34.5	mince pie this year because I had to work right to the wire tonight,
0:39.7	but it is delicious. I can smell the butter in the pastry, the stuff inside tastes of whatever
0:45.5	mince tastes of, which I'm still, you know, not quite clear on, but it's delicious. And I'm staring
0:50.5	out at a dark, dark, dark night.
1:00.7	Trying not to mind. How about you? How are you? Well, I'm also eating an imaginary mince pie, which is great because I think it probably tastes better than an actual
1:05.0	mince pie, which has never been my favorite Christmas treat, I'm afraid. What's your
1:09.5	favorite Christmas treat? I love Stolen, actually. Oh, yeah, good shout. And I'm a big fan of gingerbread and eggnog. I, eggnog remains a completely baffling mystery to me. What a weird texture, truly. I don't know if I'm okay with it. I love it. I love it. So rich,
1:29.7	it's so sugary. Gingerbread though, big, big thumbs up for gingerbread.
1:34.5	Great. Maybe I'll make some this year. Ooh. So it's our last literary friction of
1:41.5	2022, which means as usual, we're making this our year in
1:45.9	review show, where we're going to look back over some of our favourite reads from 2022. We're
1:50.4	going to gently and lovingly revisit our 2021 reading resolutions, which I'm already feeling
1:56.2	a bit nervous about. And we're going to give some new resolutions for the year ahead. Also,
2:01.8	we're going to look forward to some of the books we really can't wait to read in 2023. So it's going to be
2:06.2	jam-packed. Yes, we are going to be giving you a big list of books today. So if you need some
2:13.0	inspiration for what books to buy people, especially Uncle Joe for Christmas, or whatever holiday you will be
2:18.8	celebrating. Good old Uncle Joe. Yes, I wanted to throw him in there. Yeah, recurring character,
2:23.2	Uncle Joe. Yeah, so listen closely. And our annual reminder to support your local independent
2:30.8	bookshop, whatever bookshop you love near you that is independent, or head
2:34.8	over to bookshop.org where we'll be posting a list of all the books we discussed today.
