Books I read in 2025

I started logging the books I read on Goodreads in 2018.

2025 was a bit of a down year in terms of how many books I read. I attribute this to factors such as:

• Decreased use of audio books (only 2 this year, down from 17 last year)
• The intention to luxuriate in reading instead of check books off a list

But it was a very up year in terms of how much I enjoyed and felt about my reading.
