By Susan Pease Banitt Author

Why Susan loves this book

I love a book that dives deep into the psyche and at the same time has some nonordinary reality themes. It encouraged self-reflection without being preachy.

The Jackal's Mistress

By Chris Bohjalian ,

From Amanda's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Amanda McCrina Author

Why Amanda loves this book

It takes a lot for me to read and love a novel about the US Civil War. The Jackal's Mistress exceeded my expectations in every way. It's not a thriller or a page-turner, really, and yet I couldn't put it down; I cared that much about the characters and what might happen to them. I love stories where "good" people are placed in excruciatingly impossible situations and forced to question their own humanity and morality, and this is one of those.

The Listeners

By Maggie Stiefvater ,

From Amanda's 3 favorite reads in 2025.

By Amanda McCrina Author

Why Amanda loves this book

This was a year for great historical fiction. THE LISTENERS might have flown under the radar a bit, but I loved this quiet, deliberate story set in an exclusive hotel during WWII. The worldbuilding was wonderful and unexpected, but—again—the characters are the real stars here, and I loved the gentle romance between Tucker and June.
