The 100 Books of 2025

My goal every year is to read 100 or more books. I crossed the finish line this year with 104 books. I often will choose the top books, which I also did this year, but made it a little easier by breaking it up into fiction and non-fiction.

Top Ten Fiction of 2025 

The Blacktongue Thief - Christopher Buehlman

Spiderlight - Adrian Tchaikovsky

Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books - Kirsten Mill

Holly Black
“Holly: Seriously, you don't like unicorns? What kind person doesn't like unicorns?

Justine: What kind of a person doesn't like zombies? What have zombies ever done to you?

Holly: Zombies shamble. I disapprove of shambling. And they have bits that fall off. You never see a unicorn behaving that way.

Justine: I shamble. Bits fall off me all the time: hair, skin cells. Are you saying you disapprove of me?”
Holly Black, Zombies Vs. Unicorns

Alan             Moore
“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
Alan Moore

Ernest Hemingway
“The first draft of anything is shit.”
Ernest Hemingway

Anna North
“But now when I think about that night, I think about something my stepdad once said when my mom yelled at him for quitting AA. He just told her in this sad, quiet voice, "Sometimes the sickest part of me just seems like the truest part.”
Anna North, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark

John Steinbeck
“When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it. Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
