Here’s this year’s Books We Love—but thanks to lots of work by lots of people, you can also look over all the Books We Love years back to 2013. It’s a remarkable project, and I can say that because I have nothing to do with it. (/fin)
Books We Love
Here are 380+ great reads from 2025 handpicked just for you by NPR staffers and trusted critics.

I'm thankful that I can still go hiking with my parents in our 7th and 9th decades, respectively 💚.
We did great, 3.5 mostly flat miles. Today we will add in a bit of hill in anticipation of our mostly vegan #Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks for the great photo @tomclearwood.bsky.social ❣️
