Best of 2025

Just what you wanted. Another "best of" list. But there is something about ending the year in reflection that satisfies the human need to let go of the past and look toward the future. I read 30 books in 2025. While this is historically low, it marks a significant increase over 2023 and 2024 when I was smack in the middle of menopause, and being evaluated for and eventually diagnosed with ADHD. So for me, 30 books is a celebration. Of those, 11 were 5-star reads for me.
