    Liberty is sick so the regular Tuesday episode of All the Books will be coming late this week. In the meantime, here is a recent episode of the Book Riot podcast to tide you over. In it, Jeff O'Neal and Rebecca Schinksy play a round of Author Buy/Sell/Hold, in which we wonder if authors were like stocks, which would be buying, holding, or selling? Hope you enjoy it. If you do, subscribe to the Book Riot Podcast. Subscribe to All the Books! using RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify and never miss a book. Sign up for the weekly New Books! newsletter for even more new book news. This October, Tailored Book Recommendations is giving away a pair of Beats Fit Pro headphones! TBR is the perfect way to take the guesswork out of finding your next favorite read. To get started with TBR, just fill out a quick survey about your reading likes and dislikes, and we’ll pair you with a professional book nerd— aka bibliologist— who uses their bookish knowledge to match you with three books they think you’ll dig. You can sign up to receive your recommendations via email or have your bibliologist’s picks delivered right to your door as either hardcovers or paperbacks. And if you sign up or gift TBR in the month of October, you’ll be automatically entered to win a pair of Beats Fit Pro headphones!
