This should make @thepressbox.bsky.social and @bryancurtis.bsky.social happy. Didn’t really celebrate Jolabokaflod per se but Christmas gift from wife covers off to of the Press Box’s favorite things. Books and newspapers. Really cool idea. Every LA Times Star Wars story since 1976.

Thank you! We might even do it monthly.
Finally got a chance to listen to this, it was great. Hopefully you do it again next year - would also be cool if you 3 got together for one show on a quarterly basis.

Fantastic! We (Bryan, that is) did the same thing. It makes the whole season 20 percent more fun.
Thanks to the pod. We decided to do a family Jolabokaflod on Christmas Eve Eve. I would call it a huge success. Kids both finished their graphic novels. They already decided next year we should have a secret Santa jolabokaflod

@joelanderson.bsky.social @thepressbox.bsky.social @bryancurtis.bsky.social suggest pointing your listeners to bookshop.org - still convenient online purchasing but the orders are fulfilled by independent bookstores!
Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.
