We have a slightly longer episode for you this week, a little christmas treat. There's no discussions of games and books of the week this time, and no Read Between the Lines.

This week we are looking at our top 5 board games, and top 5 books that we have played and read in 2025. Let us know your favourites from this year.

We know, we missed another week, but hopefully things are now back on track and we are back again.

We kick things off with the books and games we’ve been enjoying over the last fortnight, dive into another round of Read Between the Lines

Then we unwrap our main topic: stocking filler board games. We chat about the small-box surprises, portable crowd-pleasers, and clever little titles that make perfect gifts (or perfect additions to your own shelves). Cozy vibes, quick laughs, and lots of recommendations.

We know, we've been away and missed an episode, we had an amazing time at York Board Games Convention, but we are back now.

In this episode of Board Games and Book Club, we catch up on the latest books we’ve been reading and games we’ve been playing before diving into Read Between the Lines.

Then, we explore the wonderful worlds of the book and board game communities — from cozy book clubs and game groups to online spaces full of recommendations, reviews, and shared passion. We chat about what makes each community special, how they’ve changed, and the friendships and fun that come with being part of them.
