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!!!

Weird Horror narrated to the reader by an alien stranded on earth, who fucks and eats people via dating apps and strenuously moulding themself into an approximately human and gendered shape. Semi-absurd, gory and at times really powerful as a metaphor ...more |

I was SO excited when I heard about this creator taking on Orlando, and it was even better than I expected. It seems a really tall order to adapt the original - an iconic, gender-exploratory, and as the introduction says, camp and often surreally mode ...more |

| Really well-executed gripping courtly fantasy, absolutely BRUTAL. The (gorgeous) twinkly epic-fantasy UK cover is IMO actively misleading; the (gorgeous) very-dark US cover and glowing reviews from Robin hobb & grimdark magazine paint a more accurate ...more | |

GOOD !!!!!! One of the most famous parts of this space opera-ey SFF is the (ex-ship) MC's from a culture which doesn’t split pronouns by gender. Obviously there are plenty of real languages that do this, but the MC also just finds gender really hard t ...more |

ok.. this book is kind of doing a wild combo of things, but it’s full of moments that go absurdly hard. A lesbian (‘old school??) historical romance set in a regency where women can be aristocrats (do not think too hard about this, the book doesn’t ) ...more |

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
by John Green (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Short but wide-ranging and fascinating nonfiction on a shockingly prevalent disease, and more broadly on how social forces affect (curable!) illness. Really accessible and engaging, linking a lot of historical and social threads along with a particul ...more | |

| I’m basically always going to read this author’s gay romances. If YOU want some YA fae/ fairytale enemies to lovers - with lesbians, a sweet ending, and also comic - this is the book for you. | |

Wow, just fantastic. I grew up not far from Brixton & loved hearing this part of its history - but the book feels relevant way out beyond the bounds of south London, and is told with so much warmth. In the introduction, Okundaye lays out that he’s pre ...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.”
