My Most Anticipated Spring & Summer Reads – Fiction and Non-Fiction Picks for 2025
Dear Listener,
Hello and welcome back to Bibliotherapy with Bijal Shah—the podcast where books are more than stories—they're medicine for the soul. Today, I’m thrilled to share some of the spring and summer reads that I am most excited about reading this year. Whether you're seeking escape, self-discovery, or emotional renewal, this season’s fiction and nonfiction titles offer powerful paths to healing.
From stories of love, loss, and intergenerational memory to explorations of identity, time anxiety, and reinvention, each book speaks to a part of us that longs to be seen or soothed. These are books for the curious and the courageous—those ready to embrace transformation through story. Join me on this episode of Bibliotherapy with Bijal Shah to find not just what to read next, but what your soul might need most this spring and summer.
Plus my book, Bibliotherapy: The Healing Power of Reading is finally out in the US and Canada on June 10, 2025 in case you’d like to add it to your Spring and Summer reads. I hope you love it :)
Let’s dive in!
Enjoy!
Warmly,
Bijal
