Book*hug Wrapped 2025: Staff Edition

It is time for part two of the 2025 edition of our annual Book*hug Wrapped series, where we ask our staff 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 on your wish list! Happy reading!
