So many books, so little time.

Here's what we know about public radio listeners: they are also avid readers. Monday on Vermont Edition, it's our Winter reading show! Let us know what books are on your wish list, and which titles you keep recommending to friends and family. Novels, sci-fi, non-fiction and young adult -- it's all on the table! Our guides for finding great new titles are Josie Leavitt of the Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne and Liza Bernard of the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich.
