Paperback Readers Episode 85

Welcome to the last episode of 2023! We have loved getting to talk about books with you again this year. Thank you for listening, emailing, and commenting. It’s always so much fun to share books with you, and to track down your recommendations.

We are ending 2023 with a book we loved—Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last by Wright Thompson, and we are catching you up with the reading that has finished out our year. All the books we discussed are listed below. Next time, we’ll be cataloging our favorite reads of 2023, and sharing some of our plans for 2024.
