NEW SERIES ANNOUNCED: 8114 by Joshua Hull
We are back and ready to announce our next book in Wicked Words: 8114 by Joshua Hull! Join Greg and Sara to learn a little bit about our next author, Joshua Hull.
BUT FIRST…
In Greg’s Bonus Film Reel, we talked about Caught Stealing (2025), a film experience that we described as “very okay” and “perfect to watch on a plane”. In Sara’s Bonus Book Shelf, we talked about the bizarre and wonderfully weird Blob: A Love Story by Maggie Su.
We also did the Year End Bracket for Sara’s Favorite Book of 2025. Out of 115 books read so far, Sara chose her top 16 (with 3 honorary mentions) and Greg tortured her by making her decide which was the ultimate winner. Which book will win?
