Ep. 26 Picking The Perfect Published Present with Bri Esposito 11-17-19

We are now just a few days before Black Friday and the start of the crazy holiday shopping season. We are all book lovers here which means chances are high we will all probably buy a book or related gift for at least 1 person on our shopping lists. Carrie and I plus our guest today, Bri Esposito, are here to help. Bri has been the marketing coordinator for Carmichael Books, Louisville’s oldest independent bookstore, for the last few years and puts together their holiday buying guide.

We talk about what adult fiction and children’s books are hot this season; what new cookbook is perfect for the no fuss cook in your life, and what to buy at a bookstore for the hard to buy for person.

We also give you some backlist titles that are great holiday reads that you should put on your TBR list this winter.

Grab your hot tea or cocoa (or spiked eggnog, cause that’s sometimes how we roll), your paper and pen, and prepare your holiday shopping list with us on this week’s Perks of Being a Book Lover.

You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com

Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm. We have purchased the rights to the theme music used.
