It’s the season for year-end recaps. Apple Music Replay debuted yesterday and Apple Books’ Year in Review is now available too, alongside Apple’s picks for best books of 2025.
Apple Books now offers end of year recaps and top picks
For the last couple years, Apple Books has offered a special Year in Review feature in the style of Apple Music Replay and Spotify Wrapped.
It‘s a great overview of all the books you read, top genres, authors, breakdowns of reading activity by month, and more.
Now, the 2025 Year in Review is available inside the Apple Books app.
You’ll see it featured prominently inside the Home tab.
Also in the Home tab, Apple’s editorial team has published its picks for the best books and audiobooks of 2025.
Best Books of 2025 include these and more:
- 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin
- Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
- Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell
- Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy
- Presumed Guilty by Scott Turow
- Arcana Academy by Elise Kova
- King Sorrow by Joe Hill
- Motherland by Julia Ioffe
Best Audiobooks of 2025 include these and more:
- 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin
- The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig
- Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
- Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins
- The Proving Ground by Michael Connelly
- Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan
- The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher
I continue to wish Apple would launch a Books+ subscription service along the lines of Audible and Kindle Unlimited. So much modern media consumption happens through subscriptions, not standalone purchases.
But even without a Books+ option, my favorite place to read books remains Apple Books.
