Find books from all your favorite MaxFun hosts in one handy place! Plus, we’ve got recommendations from HQ staff that we’ll update periodically for you.

MaxFun Authors

Have you heard of Bookshop.org? It’s this awesome website where you can order books online with the same level of convenience as Amazon—but instead of sending money to Jeffrey Bezos, your purchase supports independent bookstores all over the place!

And, in even more exciting news, MaxFun is now a Bookshop affiliate! We’ve got a handy-dandy storefront where you can see books written by MaxFun hosts and producers, running a wide spectrum from memoirs to fantasy novels to comics. (That also means if you purchase a book from our storefront, we’ll receive a small commission from Bookshop.)

MaxFun Staff PicksMaxFun HQ Staff Recs November 2024

Plus, we’ve got a section full of great books recommended by MaxFun staff! Each rec includes a sentence or two from the staff member who suggested it, so go read some books and find out if you’re a Gabe or a Danny when it comes to books. We’ll be updating this periodically, so check back when you’re looking for something to do with your eyes instead of your ears.

Well, I should probably wrap it up there—I’ve got to go through the gift guide and start picking out gifts for everyone I know! We’ll be back in your inbox next month, which reliable sources are telling me is somehow the end of the year already. Wowza.
