The Big Draw Episode coming soon...

Join us as we select the books for our 2025 reading list!

On Christmas Eve,

The Reader & the Writer

will drop our first-ever Big Draw episode where we select the books for our 2025 reading list.

For this special episode, Shari and I decided to create categories and then each of us will select two to three books for each one. In real time—no editing we promise, we’ll pull books out of a hat (yes, for real😂) and curate our list for 2025.

We’ve been working for weeks to gather the books we’d love to read with our listeners, and I have to admit, narrowing down to just ten titles was painful!! But, I did it!

Here is a sneak peek at my list of books and notes for the big draw! Thank you GoodReads.com for all the book descriptions.

We’re planning to record this episode on December 11, 2024, and it will air on Christmas Eve. In the meantime, I’d love to know what you’re currently reading! If you could recommend one book, what would it be, and why?
