Grace and Alvina discuss a bunch of book publishing news, including the Anthropic Settlement, the National Book Award for Young People's Literature long list, a study about how library eBook lending hurts sales, how Libro.FM is planning to expand into the eBook market, and they talk about some of the new words that have recently been added to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, including words such as looksmaxxing, yacht rock, shishito, chili crisp, and glow-up.
For the Fortune Cookie segment, they talk about eight different "play personalities" and which ones they are--Grace is a creator, and Alvina is an explorer. And, they both have dreamer energy. And they end as always with what they're grateful for.
