Welcome to day 8 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, Phyllis Green, Books Editor at SARIE magazine, 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!

Phyllis's stand-out book for 2022 is The Eye of the Beholder by Margie Orford, and she plans to read a few books over the festive season, including:
-Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
- The Milky Way Smells of Rum and Raspberries: ...And Other Amazing Cosmic Facts by Jillian Scudder
- ANC Billionaires by Pieter Du Toit
- No Country for Girls by Emma Styles
- Little Nothings by Julie Mayhew
