For our last February prompt book, Corinne picked Sally Rooney's Beautiful World, Where Are You. We discuss how maybe this book isn't for us, and also confess we don't know much about Ireland!

We talk a bit about our picks for January's prompt, Book Adapted into a Movie or TV Show, and then Becca regales Corinne with a tale of an art auction, a sci-fi novel, and cryptocurrency. Lots of laughter!

We really enjoyed having a prompt every month to help choose our books, and we loved seeing our listeners using this challenge to pick books as well, so we're doing it again in 2022!

These are the prompts we will be following to choose our podcast reads for the year. There is just one prompt per month, making this an approachable and adaptable to work with other challenges you may be attempting in 2022!

Title says it all, really. We talk about our favorite and not-so-favorite books we read this year, and our plans for 2022. We won't be releasing a book episode in January, but we will be releasing a new Bookstore Podcast Challenge for the year! Watch for that episode to drop later this week and we'll post it on social media as well.

Our final book for December's theme of "Book Published Before 1950," we read A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, released in 1905. We both loved the 1995 movie as kids and it was interesting to compare.

Next week we will be announcing our plans for 2022!
