The 10 Best Books of 2025

I recently read Miriam Toews’ new book, and it really struck me. It starts with this interesting idea – she was asked why she writes before a festival, and she found the question so difficult she almost backed out! That little moment turned into this whole journey for her, and for me as a reader. She wanders through her life, looking at her upbringing as a Mennonite, the people she’s lost, and all the ups and downs of being a child and then a parent. It’s a really honest book – funny, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful. She really digs into what makes her, her, and how that connects to her writing. It felt like she was holding her life up for examination, and it was incredibly moving.
