This week we celebrate the best in the books we read in the past year. It's time for the Book Oscars!! We debate fun categories such as best villain and best scene before announcing the winners for best book, best character, and best author. We love doing this episode!
Also, if you like upcoming book news we have a bit of that in the beginning. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

I can't possibly pick favorites from this list. So random thoughts, instead:
🩵 Up is my favorite movie ever. It warms my icy heart. I cry 3 times during it to this day.
🩵 Philip Seymour Hoffman was one of my favorite actors. I'm so sad he died so young.
🩵 When Pulp Fiction came out, our local art theatre showed it during their Oscar series, and a bunch of elderly ladies who were regulars walked out in disgust. 🤣🫠

my read for women‘s history month…such a trailblazer—the 1st asian american actress to have a successful career and overcoming discrimination and racism—“…back then anna may wong was the 1st and only today thanks to her struggle she is the 1st of many.” #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife #womenshistorymonth
The beginning of this year was such a bad reading slump for me! I finally feel like I‘m getting back into my reading groove. I am fascinated by the history of Hollywood and this book is not definitely not disappointing! It‘s amazing how truly small the industry is and all the machinations that go on behind the scenes. I‘ve always found Valley of the Dolls as a book and a movie to be such interesting examples of a moment in time.

Wonderful! I will have to plan an entire day for watching Al‘s 🎥 ‘cause somehow, I‘ve not seen many of them😳
I absolutely love listening to autobiographies/memoirs that are read by the author(s). I‘m always fascinated & intrigued by their life experiences.
One of Jimmy's first movies was the remake of Seventh Heaven in 1937. I never watched the original. As much as I love Wizard of Oz, my favorites are Katherine Hepburn's Jo in Little Women, Philadelphia Story (Jimmy won Oscar), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington ❤️❤️❤️. I should've done better, but I only cared for Stewart, Hepburn, or Grant.
