Now in its third year, Share Your Favourite Book continues to grow from our shared love of reading and connection. Each year at The Word On The Street festival, hundreds of book lovers share the stories that have inspired, comforted, and delighted them.
This year’s collection is a vibrant reflection of our community’s curiosity and imagination, showcasing a wide range of genres and voices that capture what we love most about reading.
Inside “Celebrating the Books That Bring Us Together,” you’ll find five curated lists: our community’s top picks, followed by selections across Fiction, Non-Fiction, Young Adult, and Children’s Literature — each organized alphabetically.
Download the 2025 PDF and explore the books that continue to unite, inspire, and spark creativity within the Ripple Foundation community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated volunteers, supportive community partners, and every reader who joined us at The Word On The Street Festival 2025. Your enthusiasm, energy, and love of storytelling made this year’s event truly special.
This year’s Share Your Favourite Book project — and the 2025 Books That Bring Us Together booklist — came to life because of your meaningful contributions. Whether you helped with setup, engaged with festival-goers, or shared your favourite read, you played an essential role in bringing this tradition to life.
Relive the magic from the festival by watching the highlight video and celebrating the incredible community that makes this project possible each year.
