“I HAVE EVIDENCE!” (A Very Chaotic Christmas Episode)

We are sooo excited to bring you a very special Secret Santa episode of Books and the City. After we talk favorite Christmas traditions, we’re getting into a very fun book conversation. This week, we all read books that our Secret Santa chose for us; none of us know what anyone else was reading, and we spend the second half of the episode guessing who drew our names (and presenting the *extensive* reasoning behind our guesses (Kayla had a whole dossier)). It was so much fun, and we all discovered some great new reads along the way! Special shoutout to our amazing illustrator, Nicole, for seamlessly facilitating the Secret Santa fun.
