We reflect on another year of incredible (and sometimes not-so-incredible) reads! In this fun and insightful episode, we share our top book picks of the year—stories that captivated our imaginations and stayed with us long after the final page. But it's not all sunshine and roses! We also dive into the books that fell flat, disappointed, or didn't live up to the hype.
Spoiler: Not every book is a winner! From thrillers that missed the mark to classics that didn't resonate, we are open and more honest than ever.
But it's not all about the misses! Tune in to hear the stories that swept us off our feet and the lessons we learned along the way. Plus, we discuss trends we noticed this year in our reading habits and what we're looking forward to tackling next season.
Highlights from This Episode:
- What makes a thriller like Falling fail to land for some readers?
- The surprising ways we connect (or don't) with main characters like Finlay Donovan.
- Our top book recommendations that are absolutely worth your time!
