Hi, I'm Drew Barrymore, and I want to tell you how you can help to support the life-saving work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

When you give, you're helping ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food,

so they can focus on helping their child live.

This holiday helps St. Jude give children the greatest gift, a chance at a lifetime.

This holiday helps St. Jude find more cures for more children. Donate now at musicgives.org.

All right. It's time for a book review. I am happy to report that I've finished my December book of the month.

Wonderful. Here in the first week of December.

So I've got some wiggle room.

A couple of years ago, I got back into reading a book a month, and I try to review them all

here on the show.

And so now I've got, what, 25 days or so to read two more more books because I can't finish with having read 13

because that's bad luck.

It's not bad luck.

13's 13.

No, it's terrible luck.

So I did start the Nate Bergotsie book, Big Dumb Eyes, which is kind of funny.

I've got a lot of thoughts on it, but I think I can finish that.

Is it a...

It's just a collection of funny stories and observations.

But I'm reading it in his voice, so that makes it funny.

And I think I can work another short book in before the end of the year to get to 14,

which might be my all-time record, actually.
