Alexis McKain
I have a lot of favorite books, but right now my favorite has been “Fire and Blood” by George R. R. Martin and comparing it to the HBO show “House of the Dragon”. The Season 3 finale was this month, so now I will have to wait another 2 years to compare the rest of the book to the show.

The Odd Lots podcast from Bloomberg
Angi Quigley
I’m an old soul…My absolute favorite reads belong to the Regency period—specifically, anything written by the incomparable Jane Austen. Her sharp wit, timeless romance, and brilliant social commentary make her books my ultimate comfort reads. My favorite is Pride and Prejudice. I have read this particular book about a dozen times over the years. I get something new from it each time.

To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book of all time. It’s a timeless story about justice and protecting those who are unable to protect themselves.
