Things are getting wild in the Top Shelf Librarians recording studio, gang. Heather's got 99 problems, and Bluetooth's one. Brittany's chock-a-block full of advice, from recommended social media (hint: it's tumblr) to the best foods to eat when you know you're just gonna barf it back up in fifteen minutes. We say goodbye to the Goodreads Challenge, discuss our 2022 faves, and Heather vows to Betty Crocker This Shit in the Cooking Corner Formerly Known as Matt's. 

By now you know that things usually get weird on the show, but in 2023, we're choosing violence. Buckle up.
