Our favourite episode of the year is out now (a bit late because Salma had jury duty!) Listen to find out the top ten borrowed fiction and non-fiction books for 2025 (for the first time ever there's no James Patterson). Also, Paula and Salma offer some good book recs for summer reading and the books we're looking forward to next year!!

We also farewell Paula from the podcast for now (she'll have FOMO and will be back) and welcome Jasmine who will be joining Salma in 2026!
