Year of reading 2025
Part 1
My top 23 books
To follow my tradition, here is part 1 of my yearly recap.
I’m combining it with Top Ten Tuesday (Best books I read in 2025)
There is a total of 3 parts: for my yearly recap:
- my favorite books, with my usual categories, see here below
- my stats
- my fun list with titles
2025 was a great year, with 34% of 5 stars rating (53 out of 156 books)
– that’s an average of 8.10 per book,
so it was not easy to pick a winner for each of my categories.
As usual, the final choice here below is based not only on the quality of the book,
but also on how it resonated with me and my own experience,
and on how it stayed with me.
