End of 2025: Reading Wrap-Up
January is already almost over, and I’m only now catching up on all the reading I did in 2025. What can I say, 2025 was a year of new experiences for me. I started a new job. I traveled to many new places.
One thing, however, has remained consistent across time: my love for reading. Some months I read more than others, and my tastes can shift from sprawling epic fantasies to steamy romances or twisty murder mysteries, but reading has always brought me so much joy.
By the end of the year, I managed to read a total of 69 (😉) books! As always, there were some I loved more than others, but every single one offered me respite when I needed it. These books saw me through everything this year, and I can’t wait to see what new stories I’ll discover in the year to come.
