What book did you read this year that you immediately recommended to all your friends?

We want to hear about it. Join MPR News host Kerri Miller Monday at 9 a.m. for a special live edition of her regular Friday show, Big Books and Bold Ideas. Instead of chatting with an author, Miller will talk to you about the best books you’ve read in 2023.

Maybe it was a fiction book that transported you to a different place and time and gave you new insight on life. Maybe it was nonfiction that stirred your curiosity and transformed you into a more informed and perceptive person.

Whatever it is, we want to hear it. Two book experts will join Miller to add their top picks.

Guests:

• Glory Edim is the founder of Well-Read Black Girl, a podcast and digital literacy platform that celebrates the uniqueness of Black literature and sisterhood. She lives in Washington, D.C.

• Julie Buckles is the owner of Honest Dog Books in Bayfield, Wisc., and the author of “Paddling to Winter: A Couple’s Wilderness Journey from Lake Superior to Northern Canada.”
