It's that time of year Raag Hags when we say goodbye to 2021 and get excited for 2022! We are looking back at all the incredible books we read this year on the podcast and awarding the Best Feels, Overall, Audio, Cover, Smut, and our personal favorites overall! Join us as we cackle away the New Year and reminisce about old favorites. 

To say we were surprised by the two genres that dominated the awards is an understatement. Just goes to show that you should go into reading with an open heart, and check out different sub-genres from time to time. You may be surprised what becomes your new favorite!

Happy 2022 and we are so thankful you are here! For those of you who have been with us since the beginning (especially our OG patrons and champions of the podcast who share our podcast all the time) THANK YOU. You help us grow, you help us pay for our podcast service, and website and transcriptions to make our podcast more accessible for all. 

To everyone who recommended one of these incredible books, thank you! We really look at and think about every single recommendation you give, and we appreciate your time and desire for us to check out your favorite books.

For our new friends and listeners, HELLO AND WELCOME!!! We're so happy you found our podcast and hopefully, you laughed along as we talked romance. We've got a lot more fun escapism coming at ya next year as we review another 40 or more books, and interview TONs of amazing authors!!
