<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;In this, our final episode for the year, we wrap up season four and bid farewell to 2024 with a deep dive into one of our all-time favourite topics—reading! We’re sharing our summer reading plans, and our favourite must-read fiction and eye-opening non-fiction from this year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;We're excited to explore the intriguing concept of the "anti-library," a space filled with books we haven't read yet, and discuss how it can inspire our future reading adventures. Plus, we'll reveal our wishlist of titles we're eager to dive into over the holiday season and share a fond farewell as we say goodbye to the Two Booked Up podcast for now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Whether you're looking for your next great read or thoughtful gift ideas for fellow book lovers, this episode is packed with inspiration and engaging conversations. Grab a notebook, tune in, and let the bookish chat begin!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Episode Links Mentioned&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight:400;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twobookedup.com/episodes/tbu17-whats-on-our-summer-reading-list-1"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Two Booked Up Episode 17: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;What’s On Our Summer Reading List?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight:400;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twobookedup.com/episodes/tbu37-holiday-reads-and-bookish-traditions"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Two Booked Up Episode 37: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Holiday Reads and Bookish Traditions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;li style="font-weight:400;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://twobookedup.com/episodes/tbu58-how-are-we-tracking-our-reading-in-the-24-for-2024-challenge"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Two Booked Up Episode 58:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt; How are we tracking?
