    Ever find yourself snuggled under a blanket, yearning for a good book to transport you to another world? Or facing a rainy winter weekend? That's where Ellen and Tish beckon you to join them as they share their top five cozy winter reads perfect for the year ahead.

    The podcast takes you from the comfort of your earbuds, discussing how audiobooks have become Tish's go to and a savior on tedious long work drives, and her new book club to a chat so cozy you can practically feel the fireplace crackling. Ellen shares what her book group is up to and why book groups from ones at the library to small ones with friends are a midlife lifeline.

    Tish and Ellen unwrap "Erasure" by Alex Thompson and its film "American Fiction," dissecting Monk Ellison's riveting narrative. Tish shares the latest book by Kristin Hannah called the women. As the pages turn, our conversation wades through the emotional depth of a novel set amidst the Vietnam War, following the transformation of an Army nurse, and Ellen examines the reflection of society in the mirror of Anne Patchett's "Tom Lake," a tale rooted in the pandemic era.

    The discussion of the Girl in the Stilt House heats up with audiobook narrations that can make or break the experience, and we debate the merits of authentic Southern accents. We venture into the historical tapestry of the early 1900s with The Girl in the Stilt House, drawing parallels with "Where the Crawdads Sing," and cap off the episode with Bodie Monroe's mystery "I Have Some Questions for You," which leaves us pondering the elusive nature of memory and truth.

    So, if you're itching for a story that sticks or a discussion that digs deep, pull up a chair and join our circle—you won't want to miss where these winter reads take us.

    Obsessions:
    Tish: Portable and prefab tiny homes
    Ellen: Yoga pants that go from work to workout!
