Book*hug Wrapped 2025: Author’s Edition

It is time for the 2025 edition of our annual Book*hug Wrapped series, where we ask our authors what their favourite books of the year have been (which luckily coincides with gift giving season). We hope you enjoy this year’s selections, and that some of these titles will end up in your to be read pile! We sure know they’ll end up on ours!
