Episode Description
Goodreads just dropped the 2025 Choice Awards winners, and we had… feelings. In this episode of Reading Under the Covers, we go category-by-category reacting to the wins, the vote blowouts, and the surprises (and yes, we rant a little about repeats in the romance lane). We also rapid-fire the books we think got robbed/snubbed and deserved nominations, then wrap with our most anticipated new releases for December 1-6-including romance, romantasy, thrillers, cozy-ish mysteries, and some "nostalgia bait" for longtime fandom readers.
Inside this episode:
- Our live reactions to the Goodreads Choice Awards 2025 winners across major categories
- The snubs we're still thinking about (historicals, indies, overlooked thrillers, and more)
- New releases to add to your TBR (Shadowhunters stories, BDB anniversary goodies, winter reads, and a wild AI boyfriend premise)
