There are no book reviews in this episode... instead, we gathered a few library staff members to talk about how many books we plan to read in 2023 as well as how we plan to choose those reads. 

Chazley reviews 22 books she read that were published in 2022... all in under 22 minutes!

Jamie joins the podcast to test out her "box of chocolates" book review game and reviews six books in total: A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel; Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick; The Wives of Henry Oades by Johanna Moran; Book Lovers by Emily Henry; Becoming Duchess Goldblatt (again!) by Anonymous; and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. 

Sabrina reviews a graphic novel that is an uplifting and humorous examination of the universal experiences of moms with small kids. 

Sam and Chazley review V. E. Schwab's latest book that features an "other side of the gate" that may feel familiar to some readers. 

Lesley and Rachel discuss motherhood, midlife, and Jessi Klein's memoir I'll Show Myself Out. 

Sam delivers a less than glowing review of a dark fantasy title that didn't land quite right for him. 

Cherie reviews a book by a Texan author who happened to be featured at an Evening With the Author event several years ago!

Erline, Donald, Katie, and Lesley wrap up their tour of the library's graphic novel collections with a sampling of adult graphic novels. They selected Fluorescent Mud, Ice Cream Man, Saga, and Wicked + Divine for their discussion. 

Erline, Donald, Katie, and Lesley are back to talk about teen graphic novels and all the feels in part two of this three part series about graphic novels.
