Summer Reads 2025


Listen Later

Looking for your next read to take on holiday, or the commute, or to read before bed? Then Nat and Phil have got you covered. Here they talk you through 10 new books they are either currently reading, or want to read - that's 5 choices from Nat, and 5 from Phil. There's a range of genres from mystery to memoir, love story to thriller, and hopefully at least one of these will be the next book you want to reach for too.

The recommendations are:

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

Never Flinch by Stephen King

The Compound by Aisling Rawle

Must You Go by Antonia Fraser

The Director by Daniel Kehlmann

Black Water Lilies by Michel Bussi

City of Night Birds by Juhea Kim

What the Night Brings by Mark Billingham

Swept Away by Beth O'Leary

Galway Confidential by Ken Bruen


With a special mention to Books Are Magic, a Brooklyn bookstore, whose hat Nat was coincidentally wearing for this recording!
