Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions.

In this episode, we fully surrender to the holiday spirit with even more festive book recs (and a few decidedly not festive ones), plus a Spotlight Segment where we share what we’re hoping to see under the Christmas tree this year.
