Description: Three years strong, y’all! We’re back with our favorite tradition: The Reading Culture Yearbook. As we close out 2025, we’ve gathered superlatives and stories that celebrate some of the memorable authors who joined us on the show this year. This year’s edition features awards such as “Most Revolutionary,” “Grandma’s Hands,” “Scariest Story,” and, of course, “Best Reading Advice.” I’m also saying a brief farewell as we go on hiatus for the winter. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2026 with exciting things on the horizon!***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. Show ChaptersChapter 1: Most Revolutionary Chapter 2: Most GraciousChapter 3: Best Fan-Girl-Turned-AuthorChapter 4: Best Reminder of History RepeatedChapter 5: Most Likely to Pay HomageChapter 6: Grandma’s HandsChapter 7: Best Reading Advice for Kids Chapter 8: Scariest Story AwardChapters 9 & 10: Best Advice for Dealing with Loss Chapter 11: Most Uplifting Chapter 12: Most Defiant Chapter 13: Meet Your (S)Heroes AwardChapter 14: “Poet and You Didn’t Know It” AwardChapter 15: Best Friend AdviceLinksThe Reading CultureThe Reading Culture Newsletter SignupFollow The Reading Culture on Instagram (for giveaways and bonus content)Beanstack resources to build your community’s reading cultureJordan Lloyd BookeyHost and Production CreditsHost: Jordan Lloyd BookeyProducers: Mel Webb and Lower Street MediaScript Editors: Josia Lamberto-Egan, Mel Webb, Jordan Lloyd Bookey
