Talk Booky's Time Crunch: Episode Three

Like a famous poet once said, "wake me up when...(December?) ends..." You get the point. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we mourn another month of disappointingly slow reading. We open with some political news and a good look-back at 2025 in books, talk about our (mostly) failed time crunch month, including the dirty side of NYC kitchens and more complaints about a Christmas serial killer, award some superlatives, and wrap up with another fun question about literature. Thank you for joining us on this last attempt to meet some TBR goals, and we hope you were more successful.
