Year in Review 2025 (and mother of all catch-ups)

from Literary Friction · host Literary Friction

So it turns out, we missed talking to each other about books, and we missed you! And thanks to some vital sponsorship from our friends at Faber Books, we are BACK, baby, for this extra long one-off Year in Review episode. This show is full of recommendations from the last year (or two), as well as a bit of a catch up. Since we last appeared in your feeds, we've both had babies, Carrie moved to New York, Octavia moved south of the river... And so we bring you this extended episode full of our usual reading recommendations and resolutions, news of some exciting debut fiction coming from Faber Books next year, plus an extra segment where we catch up on our experiences of becoming new parents, and the books that have helped us and kept us company through the wild last couple of years. We hope you enjoy listening!
