Episode 79: 2023 Holiday Gift Guide, Part 2

Stuff your mouth with turkey while the Mama’s share their opinions on funny, sexy, and murdery Grown Up books that made the top of their lists in 2023. Heather went for fantasies filled with dragons and angry gods, while Margie nabbed myths, space murders and, of course, zombies. You can’t go wrong when a nerd and an outcast team up – that’s when the Two Lit Mamas are at their finest. Happy Thanksgiving! And, don’t forget to hit your local bookstores on Small Business Saturday or you’ll end up on the Mamas’ naughty list.The Mamas’ Top Just-for-Fun ReadsHeather’s Faves:Circe by Madeline Miller An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene TurstenThe Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu MandannaMargie’s Faves:Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna RaybournThe Push by Ashley AudrainLocal Woman Missing by Mary KubicaHoliday Gift Guide Grown Up & YA Recs:Heather’s Picks:The Invisible Hour by Alice HoffmanThe Wishing Game by Meg ShafferThe Last Devil to Die by Richard OsmanAccountable by Dashka SlaterDivine Rivals by Rebecca RossFourth Wing  and Iron Flame by Rebecca YarrosMargie’s Picks:Eat Your Heart Out by Kelly deVosInto The Light  by Mark OshiroThe Only Girl in Town by Ally Condie Daughters of Sparta and The Shadow of Perseus by Claire HeywoodStarter Villain by John ScaliziThe Midsolar Murders by Mur Laffertywww.twolitmamas.com
