As the holiday season approaches, I want to hear about everyone’s top book wishes–whether it’s a collector’s edition of an old favorite, a book that has somehow evaded your grasp, a book that has been recommended by a friend, or anything and everything in between. Why are you asking for these books?

For me, I’m hoping to get two books that Mike Palindrome recommended, The Collector by John Fowles and Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee. They both aren’t at my library, and I’ve wanted to read them for a while now.

    Safe and Sound: the Renter’s Guide to Home Repair by Mercury Stardust.

    My landlord doesn’t fix anything unless I badger them, and I want to get a better idea of what I can take care of by myself.

      Fantastic idea. I will also advocate for the use of YouTube for anything home repair related. I worked as a handyman for a few years, and for many mornings, we sat outside the house watching a YouTube video on whatever we were fixing, lol
