EP55: Books for Everyone on Your List

This week, it's nothing but naked capitalism, as Sam and Hannah challenge each other to suggest the ideal book-gifts for all your potential giftees. Of course, Hannah's in the mobbed bookstore, so a little stressed and nervous for this challenge. The mail is even being delivered as we record. Crazy stuff. Seriously, though, we've got great ideas for: Your teenaged niece or nephew (Sam really did tear up during this read; but he misremembered and someone does, in fact, die). Your voraciously reading mom/teacher/hostess (Clarie Keegan!). The sports-loving dude in your life. The chef in your life who's already got all the basics (get loose in the kitchen with Erin French!). Your music-loving uncle (Sam does, in fact, know that Neil Peart was the drummer for Rush). Anyone who has a coffee table (Dolly! Willie!). Anyone looking for something trashy (who isn't?). Someone how loves Christmas mysteries (who doesn't?), or mysteries of any kind. Someone who already has "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" (or anyone going off to college or otherwise needing life advice).   Your grumpy grandfather, who still cares deeply about WW2. Your aging parents. No, really.  The children in your life (very young, young, and middle readers — lots of ideas!). Really, we've got ideas for everyone on your list this giving season. Listen up!
