2025 in books

this year i read 42 books, which is fewer than last year but in line with the last five or so years of reading.  9 of those books meet some sort of diversity standard (as in, the main character or author is not white) - not a terribly impressive number and one i hope to change for next year.  and 23 of those books (more than half) were from the library. 

a goal of mine in 2026 is to read more books that i own - ones i want to read but keep putting on the back burner as something new and exciting comes out.  let 2026 be the year that i whittle down my stash!

my favorite books of 2025:

nonfiction:

  • eve, by cat bohannon
  • prairie fires: the american dreams of laura ingalls wilder, by caroline fraser
  • travels with charley in search of america, by john steinbeck
  • everything is tuberculosis, by john green

fiction:

  • lonesome dove, by larry mcmurtry
  • wild dark shore, by charlotte mcconaghy
  • the slip, by lucas schaefer
