On this episode of Let's Read we traverse through the most miserable time of the year with the book Choose Your Own Misery: The Holidays. Find out just how great of a time we spend in Jamaica when you're trying to be frugal with your cash and whether or not this holiday hitchhiker will shank you or not.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch isn't just the latest episode of Charlie Brooker's acclaimed Black Mirror anthology series, it's also a visual novel that represents one of the most public Netflix experiments ever deployed. The film tells the story of a young programmer who finds himself in a strange reality loop while attempting to build a choose-your-own-adventure video game based on a fictional choose-your-own-adventure novel called Bandersnatch. This week, MobileSyrup reporter Sameer Chhabra speaks with MobileSyrup managing editor Patrick O'Rourke and staff reporter/video producer Shruti Shekar about Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. Later in the episode, Mike MacDonald, an author of the Choose Your Own Misery series of choose-your-own-adventure novels (and a former colleague of MobileSyrup's own Patrick O'Rourke), speaks about what it's like writing narratives that depend on continuous reader input.
