A Library Staff's Favorite Reads of 2025

Every year, the staff at my local library puts together a list of their favorite books that they read the past year - not ones that came out the past year, just ones they read and loved. The staff reads all kinds of things, so it's always fun to see what has made the year-end list. Enjoy!
