Send us Fan MailIt’s that time again, where we ask and answer “Am I The A Hole” but this time its Thanksgiving Reddit Stories! In yet another installation of our fan fave series “Am I the A hole?!” holiday edition, we’re tackling Thanksgiving Day and all the completely unhinged problems that arise when friends and family get together to “give thanks.” And then as a bonus, we’re sharing our most favorite fall book recommendations and some hopefuls! If nothing else, we hope that listening to other peoples’ holiday family drama can help you relax and laugh amidst the chaos, and remind all of us that we’re not the only weird ones with crazy families. In short… you are not alone. 😂We’ve got a lot of folks with dinner TIME issues…should the turkey be served as more of a lunch situation, or is dinner better? Is it okay to start eating when someone is late? We’ve got a roommate who ate food from the fringe without permission, and of course people refusing to be the host and calling their family members straight up holiday idiots. It’s a well rounded bunch! And don’t worry, we’ve got Thanksgiving smash or passes with everything from yams to stuffing and a fave or fail food edition… Book Recommendations and Hopefuls Mentioned:The Witch of Tin Mountain by Paulette KennedyDarkly Madly Duet by Tricia WolfHouse of Roots and Ruin by Erin A CraigThe Witch Collector Series by Charissa WeaksThe Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk by Carissa BroadbentNocadia by Keri LakeSlewfoot by BromA Dowry of Blood by S T Gibson Don't be shy, subscribe!
