Announcing my 2025 Sonderbooks Stand-outs! Check out my list of my favorite books read in 2025. And read in my blog about the 528 books I read in 2025. This is my 25th list of Sonderbooks Stand-outs, so the #Sonderbooks25 celebration continues!

A debut graphic novel I read in 2023, Two Tribes, by Emily Bowen Cohen, portrays a girl navigating between her Jewish and indigenous heritage and learning more about them both.

Happy Reading!
