The year is at its end. And in 2018’s honor, Greta talked to four people who’ve made some amazing things about their favorite thing of the year. 

Make sense? It’s kind of like a miniature phone tree but for books, music, and TV. Or like a binder’s worth of homework dumped on you hours before the end of the semester. (You're welcome!) 

Here are our guest professors:

• Celeste Ng, author of the 2017 novel Little Fires Everywhere
• Curtis Sittenfeld, author of a 2018 collection of short stories titled You Think It, I’ll Say It 
• Dessa, a singer, rapper, and writer responsible for both an album called Chime and a memoir called My Own Devices in 2018 
• Jenny Han, author of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, which became a smash-hit Netflix movie

To make things as easy for you over-achievers as possible, you can find a list of all their recommendations here.
