Smack and Gabi continue their recap of their Book Hols with the rest of their recent reads and coverage of their (first) Barnes & Noble Pre-Order Sale Extravaganza.  Gabi belatedly learns a well-known Supernatural trope and bemoans a missed opportunity for a character's Enemies-to-BFFs relationship with a big bad evil serpent.  Smack explains the best friend prop and describes how to get good translator recommendations when reading classics.  Both reiterate their goal to make 2022 the Year of Indulgences and Rereads.

Main books discussed include:

• The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski translated by Danusia Stok
• Never Have I Ever by Isabel Yap
• A Psalm of Storms and Silence by Roseanne A. Brown
• Pawn by Karen Lynch
