Books I Read in 2025

I finished fourteen books this year—a definite improvement over last year’s eight—so I’m counting that as a win. I also started around twenty others that I left midway, sometimes after just a few pages and, in a few cases, even at the 80% mark. Not because they weren’t good, but because I wasn’t in the right headspace at the time. I’m optimistic I’ll finish them all in 2026.

For now, I have 53 unread books in my library, but that won’t stop me from picking up a few more at the World Book Fair next month. :P

Here are the fourteen books I read this year:
