The Reading Culture: Yearbook 2025
Tue Dec 23 2025
Three years strong, y’all! We’re back with our favorite tradition: The Reading Culture Yearbook.
As we close out 2025, we’ve gathered superlatives and stories that celebrate some of the memorable authors who joined us on the show this year.
This year’s edition features awards such as “Most Revolutionary,” “Grandma’s Hands,” “Scariest Story,” and, of course, “Best Reading Advice.”
I’m also saying a brief farewell as we go on hiatus for the winter. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2026 with exciting things on the horizon!
