😺2025 is finished and another list of books too. 😺
And, just like the previous years, here is my yearly post about it!
I love to start writing down titles before the year is over, so I can start planning things to read, often so some titles don't get forgotten and for me it's an incredible joy all my time dedicated to books, whether it's buying, reading, writing about them or just doing plans!

Some Statistics!
😺In 2025 I've read 214 books, more in November (20) and less in June (15).
All these books mean 62618 pages.
Of all the books read, 114 were by known authors to me and 100 by new authors, which is an interesting balance, kind of.
The first book of the year was A Perilous Perspective by Anna Lee Huber, in the middle was Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books by Kristen Miller, and the last one was The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami.
Of all the books I read, I loved only 2, liked 120, thought 76 were so-so, I didn't enjoy much of 15 and 1 were no god at all. This year I didn't DNF any book.
The genres I've read:
Contemporary (59)
Historical (45)
Fiction (19)
PNR (12)
LGBT (36)
Thrillers (28)
Non-fiction (5)
Fantasy/SciFi (3)

Historical Romance (20)
This year, the number of PNR books has decreased quite a lot in comparison with previous years. This happens because it's not only a genre I haven't been as into lately, but also because I've gotten to read some forgotten paperbacks and this year there weren't many of those anymore.
😺I've purchased 57 books, spending around 557,39€.
Books are more expensive, that is a fact! Not having much choice of where to buy doesn't help either. There are some authors and/or books that I still want to own in paperback format, but.... perhaps the future will really have to be an even more selection of these, and more investment in ebooks...
😺I gave 5 stars to only two books in 2025.
I think I'm becoming even pickier, and as you all know, probably from your experience too, we change and our tastes too, and if one of my annual reading goals is to read books that still appeal but which have been in the pile for a long time... well, that certainly might reduce the chances of them being as enjoyable as I want. Hope is on for this next year, though!

Disappointments
Well, kind of a disappointment because, to be fair, I didn't have that high expectations, but it was still still sad these didn't win me over.
