Ep. 106: Superlatives with Catherine (@gilmoreguide)

<p><strong>Catherine of <a href= "https://gilmoreguidetobooks.com/">Gilmore Guide to Books</a> joins me for a special Superlatives episode where we are answering from the fourth bucket of questions submitted for the <em>Ask Me Anything </em>episode of <em>Sarah’s Bookshelves Live. </em>We give you a little taste of the bonus Monthly Superlative episodes Catherine and I often do for the Patreon community. This format is a favorite of mine, allowing for a bit more candor and a lot of fun. Today we tackle questions about our all-time favorite books, re-reads, auto-buy authors, favorite audiobooks, and more!</strong></p> <p><em>This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).</em></p> <h2><strong>Announcements</strong></h2> <ul> <li>If you like this episode, consider joining the <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/sarahsbookshelves">Patreon Community</a> ($5/mo) to get our <strong>bonus Monthly Superlative podcast episode series</strong>! In these episodes, I feature a continued discussion with every big show episode guest from the current month where they answer 5 bookish “superlative” questions. One of my favorite things I hear from patrons about this series is how much they love listening to the same guests from the big show, but with a laid-back and relaxed vibe.
