2025 Reading Roundup

Last year was a bit of an unusual reading year for me. My fiction:nonfiction and new read:reread ratios were unusual, as was the fact that I read either very long books or very short books, and nothing in between. And virtually all of my reading was in English, which is outside the norm for me.

How many books read in 2023?
In 2025, I read 101 books cover-to-cover, i.e., I read every chapter, glossary, index, author’s note, etc. in the volume.( Read more... )

Number of in-progress books as of December 31:
I currently have 110 books tagged as in progress LibraryThing, and about half a dozen going this week.

What do you want to read in 2026?
There was something I was super excited about just the other day, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was now. Without doubt, it will occur to me at 3:00 am in the morning, at which time I will update this entry. I definitely want to read Adrienne Mayor's Mythopedia: A Brief Compendium of Natural History Lore.

Happy New Year, everyone!
