Do you have a favorite holiday reading tradition? We recently asked our WSIRN Patrons this question, and we loved one response so much, we had to share it with all of you.

Kim Kortas lives in Minnesota, where she’s enacted an annual holiday tradition of curating book boxes for each family member! It’s a year-round project that brings an extra dose of holiday joy, and Kim and Anne talk about how it started, and how it’s going, before pivoting to chat about Kim’s reading life.

Like so many listeners, Kim’s grappling with a lengthy to-be-read list, and Anne helps her narrow down the list today with a spontaneous and fun approach to selecting what she thinks Kim should read next.

See the full list of titles we discussed today at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/312, and let us know in the comments if you’ve got a suggestion for Kim!
