The Book Riot Podcast is a weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool, and worth talking about in the world of books and reading, brought to you by the editors of Book Riot.
We kick off the new year in book news by talking about Book Riot's own list of the most anticipated books of 2025, a look at the whiteout that was the 2024 Goodreads choices awards before talking about All Fours (Jeff read it). And then some very brief reactions to Fourth Wing (we both read it).
