BUCKLE UP. Our Best and Worst Reads of 2025 & Our Words for 2026

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly Podcast, Hope and Brooke are here to wrap up 2025, and look ahead to 2026. Combined, your girls read over 200 books in 2025 and are here to tell you what made the best list, and what stunk (immediately NO to anacondas, Mariana!!!). We look back at our words of the year from last year (spoiler alert: CRUSHED IT!) and pick our new words for 2026. What’s your word of the year? Tell us in the comments! We end the episode discussing how much we love Heated Rivalry, and per the usual Brooke doubles down on a rant like a boss. The Bookish and Bubbly Podcast is ready for another great year! P.S.
