Each year, NPR staff help assemble their "Books We Love" list, offering more than 350 reading suggestions for all kinds of interests.
The thought of parsing through that many recommendations might seem intimidating, but it's more manageable than you might think, because the list is divided into categories based on specific topics like "Historical Fiction," "Mysteries and Thrillers," "For Art Lovers," "Science!" and "It's All Geek To Me," to name a few.
In the second half of Monday's episode of "Sound of Ideas," hear Ideastream Public Media's Coordinating Producer Drew Maziasz and NPR Arts Desk Reporter Andrew Limbong share a few selections from the 2025 list, for the avid reader looking for their next paperback, hardcover, digital read or audio book.
Guests:
- Drew Maziasz, "Sound of Ideas" Coordinating Producers
- Andrew Limbong, NPR Arts Desk Reporter
