2025 Master List

Somehow it is 2025, and this will be my tenth year of maintaining this book blog. I truly do not know how the time has passed, but that's the nature of the game, I guess. 

Last year I read the fewest books since 2017, when I somehow only managed to read 12 books all year. I would like to do better than that this year, and better than the 26 I read in 2024, although I do have a good sense of why I didn't have a ton of time or focus for reading. Last year I watched many many movies, and a fair amount of television, and also I got distracted by events of the world, for better or for worse. And this year I would like to at least try to find the pleasure in reading again, and in building out a TBR pile that makes me excited and doesn't make me feel burdened. I think I have a good handle on that right now, but we'll see. As is my standard, I have more books to start this year than I did at the beginning of 2024, but let's see how I can do. I'd like to read more books I love this year, which probably means I need to be more ruthless about giving up on a book when I know it won't be one I love. I would also like to reread more books this year as well. Here's hoping.
