We're back! We recorded this episode on November 14, 2022. But with Pledge Drive, the holidays, and Beth’s undergrad school we got a bit behind with production. So enjoy this episode, because we have our December recording coming at you on Saturday, December 31, 2022. (We're hitting that year-end post!)
On this episode of Books & Whatnot, Suzanne Perez and Beth Golay talk about some of their favorite recent reads, Beth shares some news about NPR's Books We Love, and Suzanne introduces Beth to Jólabókaflód. (Gesundheit.)
