This is the Get Booked podcast, a weekly show for personalized reading recommendations.

This is episode 251, and we are recording on September 29th.

I'm Jen Northington. I'm here with Amanda Nelson and we are

coming to you from Book Riot and all things. Pumpkin and maple flavored. Yes, I made chili.

It has begun. I haven't made my first batch yet because I'm trying to decide if my first batch will be my favorite recipe or will I try a new one.

Like these are the important chili questions that are happening right now.

Man, I could see arguments for both.

I was going to make quarantine arguments for both.

Yeah.

Like you need to do the comfort thing. Right. Everyone needs that. But also we can travel or whatever. So like, why not try something new? Right. Right. So we'll see what happened. I'll keep you posted. Thank you. I know y'all care a lot. Okay. So welcome to the show where we talk about books as well as chili.

If you, this is a reading recommendation show, as I said at the top. If you would like to send in a request for a reading recommendation, you can do that either through email, get booked at bookriot.com. Or you can drop your question in the form that's at the bottom of the show

notes on the site. It's there for every episode. And you can send in time sensitive requests if you want, but please write time sensitive, all caps, either in the subject line of the email or the very first line of the form, plus the date you're hoping to hear back by. If we don't get to it on air, that point, we might send you an email response so you can keep an eye out for those. And you can send requests for, you know, books for you, books for a friend or a relative, maybe things about traveling because, you know, that's the thing we can't do right now, whatever it is that you're looking for. And we will do our best to find you your next great read.

All right. So before we get into today's show, we have some feedback. Rebecca wrote in,

appreciate you. I think that was me. Well, I definitely did it, but you might have done it too.

We have both said this wrong. Yes. So thank you for that and for the background on the use

of the word. It's very much appreciated, Rebecca. Let's see. We have some listener

recommendations as well from Mel. For the listener who wanted new picture books for her four-year-old,

Mel highly recommends The Pirate Cruncher by John Duttle. That just is the best title. I don't know

what it means and I kind of want to. And then Mill also

recommends for the listener who wanted to satisfy their wanderlust, eat, pray, love style, anything by

Isabella Bird, who was apparently an unmarried woman who traveled the world alone in the mid to late
