2025 on Goodreads

Goodreads Year in Review

by Various

Whether or not you've had time to write your own reviews, here's a chance to review your entire 2025 reading and post it under this title so that others can see what your reading year was like. Together, all the reviews of 2025 on Goodreads should make an interesting and varied catalogue of books to inspire other readers in 2026.

For those of you who don't like to add titles you haven't actually 'read', you can place 2025 on Goodreads on an 'exclusive' shelf. Exclusive shelves don't have to be listed under 'to read', 'currently reading' or 'read'. To create one, go to 'edit bookshelves' on your 'My Books' page, create a shelf name such as 'review-of-the year' and tick the 'exclusive' box. Your previous and future 'reviews of the year' can be collected together on this dedicated shelf.

Concept created by Fionnuala Lirsdottir.
Description: Fionnuala Lirsdottir
Cover art: Paul Cézanne, Vase of Flowers and Apples, 1889-1890
Cover choice and graphics by Jayson

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

♡.ᐟ 2024

[Jayson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Can you believe we're in the last days of 2025? Time flies! 👀⌛🪽 Anyway...

Every Rating & Review for 2025

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
(A-) 81% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/05/2025
Notes: Much complicating/fate-awaiting, quite Lolita-lite, emotion flows (devotion throes), though could've been more tight.

Batman: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Tom King and Scott Snyder
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/06/2025
Notes: Hardly chaotic, Batman's robotic, the mood's all cold/unfeeling, dicey scenes feel too routine (flat/apathetic dealings).

Superman: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason
(B+) 78% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/06/2025
Notes: A not-immaterial, fairly funereal, switcheroo/goodbye: flashbacks/recapping, A-to-Z mapping, who is who and why.

Wonder Woman: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Greg Rucka
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/06/2025
Notes: A lore invective, introspective, existential panic—all "Who Am I?" and "What's Been Lies?"—feels muddy/inorganic.

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Robert Venditti
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/06/2025
Notes: Artwork's great, adds vital weight, but story's less finesse (info-lacking/context-slacking): why's the universe a mess?

Nightwing: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Tim Seeley
(A-) 80% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/07/2025
Notes: A sprightly mood and attitude (fun, optimistic, bright), it's a back-to-glory wrap-up story: adieus and team-up fights.

The Flash: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Joshua Williamson
(B+) 79% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/07/2025
Notes: Context-brought companion plot, aftermath and lead-up, intros too (the hows and whos), a montage/recap speed-up.

Aquaman: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Dan Abnett
(A-) 80% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/08/2025
Notes: A reputation exploration and persona distillation, it dips its toes with terrorist woes, current waves and implications.

Green Arrow: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Benjamin Percy
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/08/2025
Notes: Partisan political if pretty stereotypical, a squandered solid start, plus serious bits don't really fit the fun cartoony art.

Green Lanterns: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Geoff Johns and Sam Humphries
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/09/2025
Notes: Art and script feel quickly-whipped, unpolished and unfinished, begins okay but ebbs away to decent-if-diminished.

Supergirl: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Steve Orlando
(B+) 76% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/09/2025
Notes: It's nothing great, a second-rate depowered/monster story, while new foster life is intrigue-rife, more fertile territory.

Cyborg: Rebirth (2016) #1 by John Semper Jr.
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/10/2025
Notes: It's more of the same, Cyborg's lame, no twists nor lore to add, this road-to-glory origin story's mainly about his dad.

Blue Beetle: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Keith Giffen
(B-) 70% | Satisfactory | ⭐⭐ – 01/10/2025
Notes: Fouled-up by dialogue, a real slog, just never ringing true, and what's the point? just out-of-joint, generic derring-do.

Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Julie Benson and Shawna Benson
(B+) 78% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/11/2025
Notes: No struggling in its juggling, individuals introduced (three histories here), each motive clear, still, bit too story-loose.

The Hellblazer: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Simon Oliver
(C+) 65% | Almost Satisfactory | ⭐⭐ – 01/11/2025
Notes: Pretty pathetic, a Tumblr aesthetic, thinks it's smart (it's not), politically bent but just discontent: poor excuse for plot.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
(A-) 84% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/15/2025
Notes: All whimsy, vim, if pretty Grimm, on getting just desserts, where self-control's a safety goal and manners never hurt.

Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventure by Michael Chabon and Andre Braugher
(C+) 66% | Almost Satisfactory | ⭐⭐ – 01/16/2025
Notes: Wherein clarity's a rarity and story's not the focus: the point's to preen, wax byzantine, flaunt rhetorical hocus pocus.

Batman Beyond: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Dan Jurgens
(B+) 79% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/16/2025
Notes: Never dull, just cracking skulls and intro information, all fresh start fun, no work undone nor nagging complications.

Red Hood and the Outlaws: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Scott Lobdell
(B+) 78% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/16/2025
Notes: Basic retelling, albeit excelling in leitmotif and notions, it's juxtaposition, and not exposition, that furnishes emotions.

Justice League: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Bryan Hitch
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/17/2025
Notes: Airs an apathetic attitude, awfully average all-around, artwork's adequate and able albeit absent any aesthetic allure.

Suicide Squad: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Rob Williams
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/17/2025
Notes: Several chats—or heated spats—rejection-to-concession, quick introductions, mass destruction: okay first impression.

Teen Titans: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Benjamin Percy
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/18/2025
Notes: No clean slate, it correlates events with other books, though still well done and artwork's fun, nice sharp graffiti look.

The Batman Adventures: Mad Love by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm
(A) 87% | Extraordinary | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/19/2025
Notes: Wherein love is blind (the toxic kind) and truth is candy-coated: repeated hurt will not divert the hopelessly devoted.

Titans: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Dan Abnett
(A-) 82% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 01/20/2025
Notes: Fueled on feels, shock reveals (electric/lightning zaps), a flashback tour, amnesia cured by bonding moments tapped.

Deathstroke: Rebirth (2016) #1 by Christopher Priest
(B+) 76% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/21/2025
Notes: Hard to start, all middle parts, no setup/introductions, it gets redeemed by action scenes: few latter-half obstructions.

Batwoman: Rebirth (2017) #1 by Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/22/2025
Notes: Just art appeal, a highlight reel and point-form history, mere overview, there's not much new (not deep, no mystery).

Justice League of America: Rebirth (2017) #1 by Steve Orlando
(B) 72% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/22/2025
Notes: A super team without a theme, no raison d'être, no ties, no central mission, no exposition, just random gals and guys.

Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth (2017) #1 by Steve Orlando
(B) 72% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/23/2025
Notes: Completely weak, its hero geek's just wimpy and pathetic, he goes to school, does nothing cool nor anything athletic.

Justice League of America: Vixen Rebirth (2017) #1 by Steve Orlando and Jody Houser
(B) 73% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/24/2025
Notes: Entirely boring, it's intrigue-ignoring, just real low-hanging fruit, a diddly-squat generic plot and soulless art to boot.

Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth (2017) #1 by Steve Orlando
(B-) 69% | Satisfactory | ⭐⭐ – 01/24/2025
Notes: A gay coming-out (that's all it's about), a cakewalk, never rough, more allegory than origin story, all super-lazy stuff.

Justice League of America: Killer Frost Rebirth (2017) #1 by Steve Orlando and Jody Houser
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/25/2025
Notes: Hero-endearing, a reengineering (re: villainess to savior), a vampire plot on urges fought and being on best behavior.

Night Club 2 #3 by Mark Millar
(B+) 76% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/31/2025
Notes: Too much too quick (for sure won't stick), reveals aren't set up right, major stuff if mainly fluff, a lot of bluster fights.

Night Club 2 #4 by Mark Millar
(B) 75% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/31/2025
Notes: An intimidation operation, having fun with crime, death galore, much blood and gore, though primarily killing time.

Night Club 2 #5 by Mark Millar
(B) 74% | More than Satisfactory | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/31/2025
Notes: An excitement-neglected, entirely expected, autopilot plot, cracks some skulls, still, awful dull, action-packed it's not.

Batman '89: Echoes (2023-2025) #5 by Sam Hamm
(B+) 77% | Good | ⭐⭐⭐ – 01/31/2025
Notes: Urgently fervent, an action-emergent, surge to culmination, its complex plot is recall-fraught, no standalone creation.

Something is Killing the Children, Vol. 8 by James Tynion IV
(A-) 80% | Very Good | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – 02/01/2025
Notes: Ebbing of activity, action-to-passivity, increasing introspection: monster fighting to reigniting traumatic recollections.

my first time doing this was last year and 2024 ended up being my worst reading year so far😔i found myself falling into slump after slump both reading and review slumps. i feel that me setting certain goals for myself really stressed me out and i actually stopped updating my 2024 goals all together back in august because that month i had read no books at all. it was really discouraging and i was pretty hard on myself. i also discovered that i’m very much a mood reader and can’t stick to any kind of tbr to save my life.

i also really hope to get out of my review slump because i haven’t written one since october which makes me very sad as writing reviews is something i absolutely love doing, but just couldn’t because i felt so unmotivated. i found myself not wanting to write reviews as much because of how many books i was set on reading in 2024. i felt myself falling behind so all i’d wanna do is read read read and not write any reviews, but personally i have always written reviews for every single book i’ve read. i never wanted that to stop, but unfortunately it did. so for 2025, i just want to go into this year freely, with no expectations for myself.

i hope you all crush your goals hehe, i will be cheering each and every one of you on<3

[bruna]

2024 was honestly not a good reading year for me. i went through a terrible slump that lasted months, all year i basically forcing myself to read without even wanting to, and on top of that i had mostly bad & mediocre reads — so, needless to say, it wasn’t exciting. but i have high hopes for 2025! i’ve been slowly falling in love with reading again, having great reads, and reading in general isn’t feeling like a chore anymore, which is an awesome feeling. 🥹 i chose a lower goal than last year’s because i don’t want to pressure myself too much; i just want to have fun and not worry a lot about the challenge because, at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.

anyways, enough of me ranting. happy new year to all of you, guys! hope we can all have the best reading year in 2025. 🤍💫

now let’s get into it! this is my first time doing a yearly review so i’m super excited. <3

💫My 2025 Reading Journey: A To-Read List & Genre Exploration💫

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies." – George R.R. Martin

2025 So Far: 180/300 📚
---
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting and diverse year for reading! I’m looking forward to exploring new genres, reading across different formats, and challenging myself with new themes and ideas. Here’s a breakdown of what I’m looking forward to, along with some genres and tropes I’m eager to explore more.



~2025 reading Goals

*200+ Books in 2025: I’m aiming for a diverse and engaging mix of genres, including classics, biographies,thrillers,comics and more. I want to challenge myself with thought-provoking reads and explore deeper themes. I’m excited to dive into books that transport me to different times and place.

Two hundred + books, a goal to chase,
Each page a world, each word a place.
Fantasy, classics, mysteries untold,
Biographies of lives bold and old.

Poetry that whispers love and pain,
Sci-fi stars, dreams that remain.
In 2025, the challenge starts,
A journey of stories, to fill my heart.


~Here’s an updated list of types of reads I’m excited about in 2025:

*Magical Realism ✨

I’m especially looking forward to books that blend the ordinary with the extraordinary, where magic is seamlessly woven into everyday life. These stories often bring a sense of wonder and mystery, and I can’t wait to explore them.

*Fantasy 🏰

From high fantasy worlds to magical adventures, I’m ready to immerse myself in stories filled with magic, mythical creatures, and epic quests.

*Sci-Fi 🚀

Exploring futuristic societies, space exploration, and mind-bending technology will definitely be on my list. Sci-fi offers endless possibilities for new worlds and exciting challenges.

*Classics 📚

I’m diving deeper into timeless classics this year. Whether it’s the philosophical musings of Dostoevsky or the rich language of Austen, these stories will give me a deeper understanding of human nature.

*Biography 📝

Learning about fascinating individuals through their life stories will be a highlight. From world-changing figures to everyday heroes, biographies will inspire me and broaden my perspective.

*Historical Fiction ⏳

I’m looking forward to historical fiction that brings the past to life with compelling characters and events. It’ll allow me to explore different time periods and their struggles and triumphs.

*Mystery/Thrillers 🔍

Gripping mysteries and psychological thrillers that keep me guessing until the very end are a must-read for me. I can’t wait for more plot twists and unraveling dark secrets.

*Romance 💘

Exploring relationships, from heartwarming love stories to complex emotional journeys, romance will continue to be a genre that I’m excited to experience.

*Non-fiction 📖

In addition to biographies, I’m eager to explore non-fiction books on various topics like psychology, culture, and social issues. These will challenge my thinking and give me new insights into the world.



~ Genres I Want to Explore More 🌎


*Dystopian Fiction 🌪️

I’m excited to dive deeper into dystopian worlds that explore societal breakdowns, futuristic technologies, and survival. I can’t wait to read books like The Handmaid’s Tale and Brave New World.

*Historical Fiction 🏛️

I love when fiction blends with history. I’m looking forward to reading more historical novels like The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.

*Science Fiction 🚀

I want to explore futuristic stories that challenge my imagination. Books like The Midnight Library and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin are on my radar for 2025.


~Tropes I’m Looking Forward to Exploring🔮

*Found Families 💕

The found family trope continues to captivate me. I love stories where characters build their own support systems, and this theme always feels heartwarming.

*Unlikely Heroes 🦸‍♂️

I’m drawn to stories about ordinary people who rise up to become heroes. I find it inspiring to witness characters evolve and find their strength.

*Angst & Emotional Turmoil 😞

I’m in the mood for stories that dive deep into emotional conflict, trauma, and personal growth. The raw, emotional stories tend to resonate deeply with me.

*Overcoming Adversity 🌱

I enjoy reading about characters who face great challenges, whether internal or external, and emerge stronger. These kinds of stories always inspire me to push through difficulties.
Reading Tracker & Formats I’ll Be Exploring 📲📖
*Slow Burn 🔥
The gradual build-up of emotions or suspense keeps you on edge, making every moment feel earned.Whether it’s romantic tension or unraveling a mystery, the payoff is always worth the wait.

*Redemption Arcs💔→💖
Redemption arcs are emotionally impactful, often filled with heartfelt moments of self-reflection, vulnerability, and catharsis.They evoke a range of emotions, from sorrow over the character’s mistakes to joy when they find redemption.looking forward for it.


~Formats to Explore:


*Physical Books 📚: I still love reading hardcover or paperback editions of books—there’s something special about holding a book in your hands.
*E-books 📱: I’ll be reading several of my books on my Kindle for the convenience of having a digital library on hand.
*Kindle 📖: The Kindle is perfect for easy access to a variety of books, especially when I’m traveling or on the go.
*Audiobooks 🎧: I plan to listen to more audiobooks, especially for longer reads or non-fiction, to keep multitasking efficient.


~Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2025:

As a science student with a deep passion for literature, I’m eager to balance both my academic responsibilities and my love for reading in 2025. With exams looming, I know my time will be limited, but I'm committed to diving into some incredible books across different genres and themes. Here’s a glimpse of the books I’m most excited to read:

*"The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern
A beautifully written fantasy novel about a magical competition set in a circus. The atmospheric writing and mysterious plot have me eager to dive in.

*"The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller
A modern retelling of the Greek myth of Achilles and Patroclus. I’m looking forward to its emotional depth and lyrical prose.

*"Educated" by Tara Westover
A memoir about a woman who grows up in a strict, isolated family and eventually escapes to pursue an education. I’m excited to learn more about her journey of transformation and self-discovery.

*"The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
A gripping mystery set in post-war Barcelona, exploring the love of books and the secrets they hold. The layers of intrigue and historical setting have me hooked.

*"Archer’s Voice" by Mia Sheridan
I’ve been hearing so much about this one! The premise of a quiet, mysterious man who speaks through his heart and emotions rather than words draws me in. I’m looking forward to the emotional depth and healing journey between the characters—perfect for when I need a good emotional romance to dive into.

*"The Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke" by Rainer Maria Rilke
A collection of the deeply introspective and philosophical poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, exploring themes of love, existence, and the human condition. I’m excited to experience his work’s profound beauty and emotional depth.


#A Year of Literary Milestones
I’m setting out to read over 200 books in 2025. With each milestone, I’ll reflect on the progress and growth, measuring not just the quantity of books but the quality of the experience.

I’m looking forward to more in 2025."2025 is shaping up to be a year of possibilities for me,As a student of science, balancing my studies with my passion for literature is no easy task, especially with exams on the horizon. But I’m committed to finding time for books that captivate my imagination and offer me much-needed escapes. 2025 is a year of growth, both academically and personally, and I’m excited to continue my journey as a student and as a reader. Reading isn’t just a hobby; it’s my way of finding beauty in words, solace in characters, and inspiration for my own creativity.

By the end of 2025, I hope this shelf will reflect not just the number of books I’ve read, but the journey I’ve taken through them. I’m excited to share my thoughts and experiences with each book, and I look forward to a year filled with new discoveries and inspiring stories Here’s to a year of unforgettable reads and the magic that books bring to life!"💖.

Last year was my official return to reading, and I completed most of my goals! this year, my main aim is to be consistent, and to make time for my hobbies. I struggle a lot with my mental health, and often when I'm having a bad time I feel like I 'can't' read - and I miss out on doing a lot of the things I love. This year I hope to engage more with you all!<3

My other HUGE goal is to read series without splitting them up too much (6 months in between magnolia parks books isn't going to cut it anymore)
