After wishing listeners happy holidays, Calvin jumps into his reads from the past week, including CURSEBREAKER by Carol A. Park and THE LIGHT OF ALL THAT FALLS by James Islington. He doesn't have his normal on deck plans, and instead jumps to a bunch of items of interest including Rise of Skywalker (no spoilers!), The Witcher, r/Fantasy's Stabby Nominations and several others. At the end, Calvin fills listeners in on a couple special episodes they can expect in the next two weeks.
