. Do we have thoughts on the ones we have read? We do! Jessica Anthony! Amazing! But we also read a bunch of other books for this episode, even if Sam has trouble remembering which ones (much as he could not remember the word "seersucker"). Here's what's on tap:

- All of the National Book Award Longlist for Fiction. Find it here. A lot of great choices; a few headscratchers!
- "The Life Impossible," by Matt Haig. It's uplifting! About grief and getting past it.
- More on "The Light Pirate," which starts kind of boring but gets awesome.
- "You Are Here," by David Nicholls. Yes, now Sam has read it, too.
- "Brooklyn," by Colm Tóibín. Hannah's not sure why people love it so much. What is she missing?
- "Clark and Division," by Naomi Hirahara. Sam doesn't like historical fiction, but he likes this.
