Fresh Air 2017
Books discussed with authors interviewed on Fresh Air in 2017, or that (re-)aired in 2017. I prefer to exclude the Maureen Corrigan reviews and stick to the interviewees if you don't mind.

It would be easier for me to keep the list junk-free (some people decide to add random books for some reason from time to time) if we exclude the MC reviews, but I won't fight you if you want to add them.
You could also consider creating a new list just for those? (There are many!)
