Here And Book Again Bonus Episode: Children’s Books - Christmas Gift Guide

Episode 21,   Dec 05, 2022, 11:17 PM

We are going rogue this week with a bonus episode of non-streaming content.

Having trouble deciding what to buy the small literary child in your life for Christmas?
Want to know what's hot out there on the bookshelves?
Well, in this bonus episode, we are joined by Elaina Ryan (CEO of Children's Books Ireland) to discuss all of the above.

Thanks to Andy Gaffney for producing and thanks to Laura Bryna for letting us use her awesome Christmas tune!

U MAY need to slow your podcast speed down, as the excitement of being in a studio with such amazing books, may have caused us to babble continuously and at a speed faster than light!
