PBS Books Readers Club celebrates the wrap of its second season with a highlight of our favorite author moments and books from 2025. The episode premieres on December 17th at 8pm EST as a PBS Books Facebook Live event, on the PBS Books YouTube channel, pbsbooks.org, and the PBS app.
As the PBS Books Readers Club closes out an incredible year, Fred, Lauren, Princess, and Heather look back on the stories, conversations, and unforgettable moments that defined our reading journey. From inspiring interviews and behind-the-scenes memories to moments that made us laugh, this episode celebrates the books that brought our community together.
From powerful tales of women breaking boundaries and shaping history—like The Women by Kristin Hannah and Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus—to laugh-out-loud favorites including The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding. We revisited the past through America’s First Daughter by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie, uncovered family secrets in Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson, and found heart in Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt and We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes. We even got our Jane Austen fix with Gill Hornby’s Miss Austen, and were captivated by the spine-tingling mystery of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Bewitching.
After reminiscing on some of our favorite moments with these incredible authors, the hosts—Fred, Lauren, Princess, and Heather—share their own favorite books of the year, reflecting on the stories that inspired, delighted, and stayed with them throughout 2025. If you’re looking for your next read or maybe want to find the perfect gift for your book buddies, then this list is for you!
