Our guests were Sarah Rachel Egelman, Megan Elliott, Harvey Freedenberg, Pamela Kramer, Bronwyn Miller, Rebecca Munro, Norah Piehl and Stuart Shiffman. Kate Ayers and Ray Palen, who have appeared on previous programs, were not able to join us live. But we showed Ray\u2019s presentation on video, and we shared Kate\u2019s picks, along with brief excerpts from her reviews of those books. Their selections cover a wide variety of genres, and there may be a few books you haven\u2019t heard of that you will want to check out. You can see a list of the featured titles, along with their covers, here:  https:\/\/www.bookreporter.com\/sites\/default\/files\/Bookaccino_Live_Special_Event_Bookreporter_Reviewers_Share_Their_Favorite_Books_of_2025.pdf Our Latest \u201cBookreporter Talks To\u201d Interviews: Vicky Nguyen: https:\/\/youtu.be\/ssPMpaokVp8 Brisa Carleton: https:\/\/youtu.be\/aE2cCH4oMsk Alex DeMille:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/EstkI7Caul8 Lily King:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/ir_IaUnaru4 Virginia Evans:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/6FtYT5KRW2Q Hank Phillippi Ryan:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/7O3gIC1IJN4 Sharon Kurtzman:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/CMCnGJitKMY Francesca Serritella:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/XmmvtzilXg0 Bruce Holsinger:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/KukE7DscmsY      Our Latest \u201cBookaccino Live\u201d Book Group Events: Clare Leslie Hall:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/j0j3_ScryJg Paula Hawkins:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/nxakmJRaKaY Amy Neff:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/youtu.be\/lfHGY8VEyoA J.
