Sorry I’m late with this, but here’s my #GoodReadsYearInBooks for 2025!
And boy, did I do a ton of reading! Working my way through my “to-read” list, got a lot of ‘Thursday Murder Club’ in there.

As 2025 fades, a year of reading reveals how quiet books teach us to see the ordinary with clarity, patience, and a writer’s faithful eye.

#BooksOf2025 Book number 5
Fun And Games by John Patrick McHugh
I loved this book, but I’m not sure I fully enjoyed being back in the mind of a 17 year old boy…

The cover of heated rivalry by Rachel Reed, which shows a man with black hair, wearing a red hockey uniform facing off in the center against a man in a black and yellow hockey uniform with brown hair.
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. It was free on Spotify and that’s what I can say for it. A plot did emerge out of thin air toward the last third of the book but it was otherwise not a book. #booksof2025 #booksky
Book cover of The Glassmaker
#booksof2025 #reading I read a lot of great books but my favorite of 2025 was Tracy Chevalier’s The Glassmaker. What was your favorite 2025 read & what are you looking forward to reading in 2026?
A Kindle shows the cover of SarahJ Maas' Kingdom of Ash. A stag is in the background, with flowers on the ground in front. At the back, behind the title text is a silhouette of a medieval castle
#Booksof2025 No18. #SarahJMaas. #KingdomofAsh. Rather epic and breathless. It's great to see strong female characters in a fantasy setting. The writing feels fast; lots of Mills and Boon moments crossed with sub LoTR fluff. Despite reservations about style and plotting in enjoyed it.
A modern telling of David Copperfield in Appalachia
A memoir about a career in public affairs at Facebook
Probably read less really good books this year than previous years. But these two are the standout fiction and non-fiction reads of 2025 for me. #booksky #booksof2025

38- What better way to see out the year than squeezing in a book of C16th writings from the radical Reformation? #BookSky💙📚 #BooksOf2025
The paperback cover depicts the England team celebrating their victory by doing the sprinkler dance.
#Booksof2025 90 - 766 And All That by @theguardian.com (mostly Rob Smyth and Andy Bull) Over by over coverage of the 2010/11 #ashes - how England could do with another Alastair Cook!

Angelica’s Smile by Andrea Camilleri
When in doubt, read some Camilleri.
Another Montalbano mystery, to help finish the year.

The Lemon Tree & The Women I think about all the time.
The Lion Women of Tehran 💔. I love books about friendship love.
The Favorites = The Cutting Edge.

37- 50 years on, this account of climbing the South West face of Everest (or as Peter Boardman called it “one of the last great imperial experiences”) keeps you turning the page to find out more, despite knowing full well they make it to the top. #BookSky💙📚 #BooksOf2025
36. Like many before him, the author was drawn into the mystery of the Franklin expedition. Unlike most, he had a sailboat to go and look for himself. Part of my Arctic fix I currently seem to be on. #BookSky💙📚 #BooksOf2025
A very paperback copy of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. It's from the 1960s.
#Booksof2025 89 - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog by Dylan Thomas.
A collection of stories based on his childhood and young adulthood in Wales. As a honorary Welshman, I probably should have read this years ago, but instead I've read this copy I found in Zambia a few years ago.
