It's Christmas Book-Shopping Season, Bookcasters!

Hey there Reader,

It's December and that means it's time to think about what you're going to get for the readers in your life, especially the young readers. To help you out, I've put together a list of over 30 Oklahoma authors who write for children and middle-grade readers. The list includes links to their websites or other places where you can purchase their books to make it easy to support these local authors and grab some great fantastic books to encourage the kids in your life to keep reading!

​You can access the full list here (no login or email required).

Other Shopping Helps:

A couple of other links to help you help you shop for readers of all ages (including yourself!).

• ​Oklahoma Independent Bookstores: I've put together a list of over 30 stores from all over the state who would love to have your business this month. Booksellers make a significant part of their annual revenue in the month of December, so go help these small businesses thrive!
• ​Okie Bookcast shop on Bookshop.org: If you buy online, bookshop.org is the place to do it! This site supports local bookstores and if you buy through the Bookcast shop, you'll also support the show. You get books and help out local businesses - win / win. You can find almost every book discussed in the 3+ years of the show at our shop.

On The Okie Bookcast this month:

• Oklahoma Middle Grade author, Russell Fellows (12/3)
• Behind the Rain, Volume 11 submission deadline (12/15)
• Your Next Great Read - J and Hannah wrap up 2024 (12/17)

Be sure to subscribe or follow on your favorite podcast app to get these episodes when they drop.

Go find something good to read!
