Year in Review: 2025 Book List
2025 marked some immensely beautiful personal metamorphoses that I’m simply not going to talk about on the Internet. Iykyk, to put it in Internet-speak. So yes, I only read 35 books this year, and hooray, I read 35 books this year! It was the year of the library. 17 of this year’s 35 books came from the DC Public Library and three from local Little Free Libraries . I won three through giveaways. One I already owned, one came from Book of the Month , one from Aardvark , and one I borrowed from my dad. The rest I purchased from independent bookstores (plus two from Bookshop , supporting small indies): one from Kramers , one from MahoganyBooks , two from Loyalty Bookstores , one from Politics and Prose , and one from Chaucer’s . For the third year in a row, I participated in the Overeducated Women with Cats 2025 Reading Challenge . Below I list every book I read, and past that are the top 10 that stuck with me.
