Get ready to digest a heaping plateful of self-reflection during V's chaotic one-woman Turkey Day show. Host Victoria Horn discusses why she quit the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge, stepping back from perfectionism, and how to reinvigorate your reading life. She divulges her end-of-year priority list of juicy reads she has been saving up all year--and giving herself permission to finally loosen that belt buckle and just dig in. On segment V's Verses, Victoria reads the original poem she wrote for Justine Johnson, "This birthday poem is a late bloomer, too."
