Favourite books of 2025
[Graphic novels get their own post here!]
My favourite - mostly queer, SFF & historical - books I read this year. It was a rough year and there’s so much horrific news for marginalised people of many kinds, I mostly read purely for fun to bolster my morale, and made a real effort to just not finish books I wasn’t vibing with - it meant I found a TON of books I really loved this year!!!

A ROMP. A DELIGHT. Flora and or William please call me, leaving my calling card, at your convenience,“We are all of us a bit unusual,” Miles said, “or else what would be the point of living?” Bright and fun and lovely. I’m in love with the charact ...more |

80% of this is a really solid, gripping account of this gruelling shipwreck, mutiny, and subsequent series of disasters as the castaways try to survive. But perhaps because I’ve already read about scurvy and starvation and how grim things were on 1700 ...more |

Very Patrick O'Brian + dragons, and SHOCKINGLY well-done. Extremely readable napoleonic wars + dragons worldbuilding that slots neatly into the large-scale socio-economic situation of the time. But more than that, it really manages to capture a lot of ...more |

| ROMANCE!!! An agonising slow burn, backpack fantasy sections with intense physical chemistry; huge tragic longing between a lovingly described delicate cowardly man and a huge gruff powerful woman who could murder you, and kind of an exercise in edgi ...more | |

I’ve read a lot of ominous fae forest stories, but this is a particularly good one, where a civilian survivor of the brutality of war is forced to search for the perpetrator’s children in an enchanted forest. It feels like a dark fable, but a fresh an ...more |

“I want to sharpen my pride on what strengthens me, my witness on what haunts me. Whatever we name ourselves, however we end up shattering our self-hatred, shame, silence, and isolation, the goal is the same: to end our daily material oppression.”

“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That's a good thing, but one mustn't make a virtue of it, or a profession... Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
