Favorite Books — November 2025
I read a lot of great books in November, but the absolute standout was:
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson
After twenty-four years of peace, Bersun the Brusque must end his reign. In the dizzying heat of mid-summer, seven contenders compete to replace him. They are exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists—the best of the best. Then one of them is murdered. It falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor’s

| This book isn't going to be for everyone. Aspects of the writing style, like repetition and long passages of description, are going to turn some people away. But if it's a style you like, there's a lot going on in this book, and it's very worth readi ...more | |

| If Yellowface was an examination of the broken systems of the publishing industry, then Katabasis does the same for academia. And, as usual, R. F. Kuang isn't wrong. In addition, it's a great story with plenty of in-jokes that will please the amateur ...more | |

| This was as wonderful as everything N.D. Stevenson does. A rollicking adventure story full of mystery, magic, and pirates. I can't wait for book two to come out. ...more | |

“But even if I found somewhere to hide, how long would it be before my stepmother showed up with a clever disguise and a shiny red apple? I’d probably end up lying in a glass coffin until the trump of doom. Or at best, I’d find myself engaged to a different prince. One with a tendency toward necrophilia. The coffin kissers are the worst.”

“Your cat,’ Ari tells her, ‘keeps dropping on my head.’ ‘Oh,’ Chloë says. ‘Yeah, I’m sorry. He does that. Usually only with people he really likes, though.’ ‘It’s amazing! Why – no, what I mean is, how? How does he do that?’ ‘He perches on the door lintels, waiting for someone to come through.’ ‘Amazing,’ he repeats, peering at the narrow beam atop the doorway to the kitchen. ‘They’re only, like, half an inch wide.’ ‘He’s very graceful.’ ‘Cats are such fantastic creatures, don’t you think?’ He continues to stare at the lintel, as if willing it to divulge its secrets.”
― Love Bites: A laugh-out-loud queer romance with a paranormal twist
― Love Bites: A laugh-out-loud queer romance with a paranormal twist
“I once read somewhere that all cats are little Buddhists. They attempt to reduce your attachment to material possessions by destroying them.”

“Above her, the upstairs neighbours are doing something that makes repeated heavy thumping sounds. Chloë wonders what it could be. Basketball? Step dancing? Cattle rustling?”
