Pagecast Year In Review with Sonja van der Westhuizen

--:--
Welcome to day 11 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, media and communications expert Sonja van der Westhuizen 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!

Sonja's stand-out book for 2022 is Lady Joker, Volume by Kaoru Takamura, and she plans to read a few books over the festive season, including:
-The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
-The Last Chairlift by John Irving
-Dark Music by David Lagercrantz
-The Furies by John Connolly

Enjoy the episode!
