Book of the Year 2025 | Book Huddle with Todd Sattersten

Find yourself avidly scanning the end of year Best Books lists? I'm addicted. Publisher Todd Sattersten is back with us, today sharing his annual analysis of every major end-of-year list to reveal which books actually rose to the top.

We discuss the two books that dominated 2025 in the US, why one of them is uncomfortably obsessed with death + mortality + why book nerds like us love a good list.

Plus, why year-end lists tell us more about reviewers than books + what the 2020s theme of "doing bigger things" reveals about our collective anxiety.

Todd’s a regular - look for his 4-part mini-series about the business book industry + what makes books actually work.
