Reads and Recs of 2025

Hello!In this episode we’re talking about reads and recs of 2025 - what we read this past year, what we loved, and what we’d recommend. Here are some of the authors, artists, and other things we brought up during the episode. Just a disclaimer - please do not take our word as fact. The publishing industry is always changing, and often we are talking about things we are remembering from a while ago or have heard from others. While the agent deep dive is always fact checked, we do not prep for these episodes or look up other information beforehand. It’s always important to do your own research! If we realize after the fact that we have gotten anything wrong, we will do our best to correct it in the show notes.Here are the links for Laura Rennert, the agent from our agency deep dive:https://www.andreabrownlit.com/Team/laura-rennerthttps://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/LauraRennert/https://www.instagram.com/ljrennert/https://bsky.app/profile/ljrennert.bsky.socialHere are links to all the books we recommended!Roll Call:https://tinyurl.com/56vusne6Divine Rivals: https://tinyurl.com/9naw8uyyThe Spellshop:https://tinyurl.com/5xry5mpvThe Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:https://tinyurl.com/5ay9vr8dA Witch’s Guide to Magical Inkeeping:https://tinyurl.com/yc7vsjjyThe Wedding People:https://tinyurl.com/3ca8afrtThe Raven Scholar:https://tinyurl.com/4mzwbf85The Love of my Afterlife:https://tinyurl.com/2y8car4vSabriel:https://tinyurl.com/3desw7c8The House of my Mother:https://tinyurl.com/mrtpsybc An interview that goes over the study done of comparing audiobook reading to book or ebook reading:https://tinyurl.com/rjbjmdcw
