The Novel:You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince (Boy Meets Boy #2)The Author:Timothy Janovsky The Guest:Kate Barkley, Host of All the Good DogsThe Synopsis:Bring a little joy to the world?Not today, Santa.Matthew Prince is young, rich, and thoroughly spoiled. So what if his parents barely remember he exists and the press is totally obsessed with him? He's on top of the world. But one major PR misstep later, and Matthew is cut off and shipped away to spend the holidays in his grandparents' charming small town hellscape. Population: who cares?It's bad enough he's stuck in some festive winter wonderland—it's even worse that he has to share space with Hector Martinez, an obnoxiously attractive local who's unimpressed with anything and everything Matthew does.Just when it looks like the holiday season is bringing nothing but heated squabbles, the charity gala loses its coordinator and Matthew steps in as a saintly act to get home early on good behavior…with Hector as his maddening plus-one. But even a Grinch can't resist the unexpected joy of found family, and in the end, the forced proximity and infectious holiday cheer might be enough to make a lonely Prince's heart grow three sizes this year.

Hi there, I heard you were looking for holiday recommendation requests. I would like to ask for readalikes for books like Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell or A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland. (I've been really enjoying the “Red White & Royal Blue but make it fantasy/scifi” trend lately.) Thank you, Morgan 2. Hi Sharifah and Jenn, I'm looking for SF/F gifting advice for my dad. He used to be a big fantasy reader when he was younger (some of his favorite authors were Ursula K. Le Guin and Terry Pratchett) but doesn't read as much now. The last SF/F he read and loved was the Murderbot series. Do you have any SF/F recommendations that are fast-paced, on the shorter side, and possibly reminiscent of classic fantasy? I love the podcast and particularly love that you recommend excellent new and backlist titles. Thank you, Emma This content contains affiliate links.
