Welcome to day 10 of Pagecast's Year in Review.

It's Pagecast’s holiday season. This December, we’re looking back and reflecting on all the incredible books published in 2022. We’ve asked a few special guests to review their top pick of the year; and to give us a taste of what they’ll be reading this holiday and in the new year.

In this episode, the host of CapeTalk's Lunch Show, Pippa Hudson, takes us on a ride of her year in books. She chats about the ones that she enjoyed most and those she recommends as holiday reads!

Pippa's stand-out book for 2022 is A Terrible Kindness by Joe Browning Wroe, and she plans to read several books over the festive season, including:
-A Pocketful of Happiness by Richard E. Grant
-Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
- Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng
- The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
- The Winners by Fredrik Backman
- Isaac and the Egg by Bobby Palmer
- Dawlands by Philippa Gregory

Enjoy the episode!
