My Year in Reading 2025

This is for my fellow bookworms - want to know what I've been reading in 2025 so you can find more books to add to your TBR?

I keep a list here in my journal that I update throughout the year. You have permission to be nosy!

I read a variety of genres, and I'm currently working through my Kindle backlist, so it'll be an entertaining jumble.

1. XOXO by Axie Oh: I've been in a reading slump for the past few months, in combination with work being much busier through Q4. I decided I'd start the year off with a YA book to ease me back into reading again, and it was a fun and lighthearted choice for that.

2. Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton: I was given this book at Christmas by a family friend who is both a writer and a reader. I recognised the cover as one that I'd seen on bookstagram, so I was curious to begin reading it early in the year. Clocking in at over 400 pages, this book was a fair bit longer than I usually read, and it was a bit daunting that it was written as three acts with no clear chapters. I enjoyed seeing how this story unfolded.

I'm currently reading nothing - hoping to start something new soon!

I've added links to the books on Bookshop.org and Amazon. When you buy books from these links, I may earn a small commission from Amazon or from Bookshop.org, at no additional cost to you.
