Meredith is holding down the fort this week while Kaytee travels, so her brother, Scott Monday is serving as our special guest host!

You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host: a Christmas classic that brought the family together and an amazing 2018 reading realization.

Next, Meredith and Scott tackle what they are currently reading, and this week will make our non-fiction lovers\\u2019 hearts just sing as it\\u2019s chock-full of great non-fiction titles.

This week\\u2019s deep dive is about Scott\\u2019s reading life and his weird foibles and quirks. I have a feeling you all are going to have serious WORDS about this! We can\\u2019t wait for you to chime in.

As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we\\u2019d like to press into every reader\\u2019s hands: a data-nerd\\u2019s dream book and a book that belongs on every family\\u2019s shelves.

As always, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you\\u2019d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don\\u2019t scroll down!\\xa0
