Yay books! Soundside's 2025 in letters

There are only a few weeks left in 2025. That means for those of you who resolved, at the beginning of the year, to do more reading — it's crunch time. 

Did you actually put down your phone long enough to get through a book this year? It's not too late. 

Many great books came out this year. If you need suggestions for something to read or to give to someone who really ought to be reading more, we've got you covered. 

GUESTS:

• Misha Stone, reader services librarian, Seattle Public Library
• Spencer Ruchti, author events manager, Third Place Books

RELATED LINKS: 

• Our list of books we loved! Yes, it's a Google Doc.
