Jeff and Rebecca head down to the literary trading floor and evaluate their portfolio to determine which authors to buy, sell, or hold.

The Enemies-to-Lovers Cozy Fantasy of Your Dreams

Look, I’m a simple woman with simple needs. So when I see a book pitched as magician enemies-to-lovers brought together by a curse, I’m going to drop everything and read that book. Then I’m going to recommend it to absolutely everybody I know because it’s just that good.

Save Public Libraries and Schools By Voting Down-Ballot

The Most Read Books on Goodreads This Week

This list of the top five most read books on Goodreads this week looks pretty similar to last time, with one exception: The Women by Kristin Hannah has fought its way back onto the top five, beating out Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros by only a few hundred reads.

Superman Is Not a Republican

I can debunk this whole mess in a single page. It’s this one, from Action Comics #987. It features the real Superman swooping into a factory where a white supremacist (note the red-white-and-blue headscarf) tries to gun down immigrant laborers for allegedly stealing his job.

Reading About Food Culture for Days

When I was a freshman in high school, I was diagnosed with a host of food allergies—and right before the holidays! I was unable to participate in traditions like eating Christmas cookies or drinking hot chocolate after caroling. I found myself detached from social events and felt suddenly disconnected from my friends and family. So it’s no surprise that ever since, I’ve been obsessed with books about food, especially about how food intersects with culture. There’s something fascinating about how food plays such an important role in society and has a deep impact on how we, as human beings, interact with each other.

Here are a few books that look at this intersection and examine how traditions around food and cuisine impact our lives.
