Gayle sits down again with Valley Bookseller’s Pamela Klinger-Horn to talk about her top book choices for this holiday season across many genres (27:00). Plus an update of local news (50:30) and information about the Trump cabinet appointee who formerly lived in Marine on St. Croix. Matt Quast is technical director.
