Welcome to Episode 247!

Can you believe it is already time to share our annual Holiday Gift Ideas?? Each year, starting with Episode 2 back in 2016, we share some bookish (or biblioadventuring) gifts. We hope you benefit from these in the form of presents for loved ones and/or for yourself!

We also discuss our fourth quarter readalong pick – the last in our year of reading ghost stories – HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE by Grady Hendrix. Thanks to everyone who read along and those who attended the Zoom conversation. Cacawewe!

In our Just Read segment, we talk about:
THE BONE THIEF by Vanessa Lillie
WITCHES OF DUBIOUS ORIGIN by Jenn McKinlay
ANNE BRONTË NIGHT WALKER: A Brontë Blood Chronicle by Gea Haff
Chris also DNF’d two novels. It happens.

In Biblio Adventures, Emily went to Bank Square Books in Mystic to hear Luanne Rice in conversation with Vanessa Lillie about her novel THE BONE THIEF. Chris had a good old browse at Barnes & Noble in Milford, CT, where she stumbled upon one of our gift ideas.

Thank you to this episode’s sponsor RESONANT BLUE AND OTHER STORIES by Mary Vensel White.

Happy Listening and, until next time, we wish you lots of Happy Reading!
