This is episode 259 and we're recording on December 1st.

0:47.4

I'm Amanda Nelson and I'm here with Jen Northington and we're coming to you from Book Riot.

0:51.8

December.

0:55.8

What is it even?

0:58.8

Tis a thing.

I was talking to Rebecca this morning about how like, you know, you get to the end of the year usually and it's like, new year, goal setting, da-da-da-da-da-da.

1:08.1

But I don't have that kind of cool, fresh start sort of thing happening

1:12.4

because everything is the same and will be the same in January. I just want to take a nap for two

1:18.9

weeks personally. That is yes. Yeah. Yeah. I did land on like if they start distributing a vaccine

1:26.4

at the end of the month, like they're saying, and, you know, the Electoral College certifies the votes, then I will probably feel better about like New Year, Celebration, Holidays, you know.

1:38.8

Yeah, yeah.

Welcome to the show. Show title. This is our super fun holiday recommendation episode, which we're probably going to do another one. We are going to do another one because we've got more questions. Yeah. So we'll have to do more than one. But this is the first round. So for those of you who are new, welcome how the show works is that you send us your reading recommendation requests. Right now, they're all very holiday related because, you know, as we said, December, mental crouch. But they don't have to be. You can send them to us any time of the year, if they're for you or for your book club or whatever, gifts you want to give to someone for things that aren't holiday related. You can email those to us at getbook to bookgriide.com or you can drop them in the form, which is in the show notes on the site. If your question is time sensitive, please put that in the subject line or in the first line of your request if you use the form. And we ask for your email address so we can email you back if we've already answered your question on the show. After almost 300 episodes, we do not expect you to know every question we've gotten. We know because we have great encyclopedic brains, but we do not expect you. I don't know anymore to be perfectly. I don't either. I don't either. That was total BS. Okay. So we don't have any feedback this week, probably because we had last week off. So we're just going to jump into it.
