The year is almost over and that means we reflect on the books we picked up over the past 12 months. There were some highs and there were some lows. Some books made us lose our minds, others made us cry our little hearts out. If you want the rundown of our reading year, you'll want to listen to this episode! We rant about the worst books we read and praise the ones we loved. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brokenspinesattheendoftheworld/

Guys... I don't know what to tell you... 2025 has been such a chaotic and busy year. That's why you're getting this end of summer wrap-up now... in November. In this episode, Sarah talks about author Baek Se-hee's second book: I want to die but I still want to eat Tteobokki. This episode was recorded before her death in October. It feels weird to dedicate a podcast episode to someone you've never met but it also feels right in a way... so, Baek Se-hee... this one's for you. May you rest in peace.

What happens when you get swamped with work? Well, you forget that you were editing a podcast episode. Here's the reading wrap-up we recorded after Sarah went back to Switzerland. The good news is that we already recorded an end-of-summer episode as well! So you won't have to wait long for the next reading update... that is, if I don't forget that I'm supposed to finish that one too...

Sarah visited Ellen in Belgium! We spent a lot of our time either shopping for books or reading those books. Just like last time, when Ellen went to Switzerland, we decided to record our thoughts and opinions on what we were reading. Enjoy our rambling!
