Read in 2025

In 2024 I read a total of 75 books but I'm going to do something I haven't done since 2016, and that is to reduce my reading target from the previous year. In 2025 I'm planning to tackle a number of doorstopper books so I've decided to decrease my reading goal to 65 books this year.

I’ll be keeping track of what I read here, so feel free to click on any of the hyperlinks below to read the reviews as the year progresses. You can also check out my reviews alphabetically by visiting my Books By Author page. Wish me luck!
