Highlights- Catherine describes her fall reading “trick or treat” — mostly treats (her first 5-star preview book since February), but a few tricks (two DNFs).
- Sarah had a higher DNF count than usual, but still had a high(ish) success rate for this season.
- Since this is the last Circle Back of 2024, they look at their stats for the entire year of Previews.
- They name the best and worst books picks for fall!
