In this episode of Enthusiastic Encouragement & Dubious Advice, Patricia and Nicole share their favorite books they read this year, discussing a wide range of genres from cookbooks and historical nonfiction to romance and science fiction. They offer personal anecdotes, thoughtful commentary on the books' themes, and recommendations for listeners, while also touching on topics like gift-giving and supporting independent bookstores and creators. There is also a very important DuckTales universe correction from the previous episode.
Correction: Nicole mentions she is currently reading Make Room For Love by Darcy Liao, but then goes on to describe the other book she is reading, which is Anywhere You Go by Bridget Morrissey.
