Hey readers!
Liz and I had more books to discuss than could fit into our (2 hour!) best books episode, so today we have something special for you. In this episode, we go through some reading superlatives, including the weirdest, most challenging, best surprises, and the 2026 books we’re already advocating for. We hope you enjoy this bonus round of excellent books, and if you have any books that fit our categories, let us know in the comments!
As a reminder, this month you can get an annual subscription to FictionMatters for just $40!
