Today's minisode has an additional top 5 list to add to your 2023 TBRs! We've got Mindy, Mary, and Roxanna here with their favorite books of 2022, and their conversation is not-to-be-missed! These three had the best time chatting together without any hosts, and we're so grateful to Mindy for pulling this episode together behind-the-scenes!

Minisode show notes are not timestamped or transcripted, but linked titles are below for you to peruse. 

*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. If you'd prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your dishwasher detergent!) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
