Did you think we were done after our Top 10?
Not so fast, my friend.

Some books demand special recognition, and that calls for an awards show.

This episode is dedicated to our most delightfully specific favorites of the year. From dream adaptations to the questionably horny, these are the books that stood out for all the right (and very specific) reasons.

Join us as we roll out the red carpet one last time for 2025 with the incredibly prestigious Riley Awards.

In this episode, we take a look at the “Read Your Color” framework and what it says about our reading habits. We dig into how different color profiles shape the kinds of stories people connect with, why certain books grab us right away, and how knowing your color can make choosing your next read a lot easier.
