25 in 2025

tagged by @agardenandlibrary! I like how we've just decided to keep adding one book every year. How long can we keep this up? Personally, I never plan my reading out super far in advance, so when making a list I always stall around 10 books and have to run around my house looking at stacks of books I have sitting out/scroll through my haphazard "to read" tag on here. But here's a rough idea of what I'll aim to read this year! (Color key below)

Conrad's Fate, Diana Wynne Jones

The Pinhoe Egg, Diana Wynne Jones

Deep Secret, DWJ (I'm already rereading this, but I didn't start until 2025!)

The Merlin Conspiracy, DWJ

Maiden's Trip, Emma Smith

At least one Ngaio Marsh or Dorothy Sayers book (I just know this will happen at some point)

Trashlands, Alison Stine

Where the Dark Stands Still, A.B. Poranek

Elatsoe, Darcie Little Badger

Survival of the Fritters, Ginger Bolton

The Alpine Zen, Mary Daheim

Strange Brew, Kathy Hogan Trochek (and probably the rest of this series, but feels like cheating to put all 3 as separate items!)

Swordspoint, Ellen Kushner

Graveyard Shift, M. L. Rio

The Examiner, Janice Hallett

Saving Susy Sweetchild, Barbara Hambly

A Sorceress Comes to Call, T. Kingfisher

Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer

Dread Journey, Dorothy B. Hughes

The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver

River-Horse, William Least Heat-Moon

Caste, Isabel Wilkerson

The Odyssey, trans. Emily Wilson

Forthcoming Benjamin January series book, Barbara Hambly

Hopefully some weird fantasy/old mystery book I find in a used bookstore on an upcoming vacation

Planned rereads (of books I own), library books (already checked out, or planning to check out), owned books I need to read/finish for the first time, books I hope to own by the end of the year

The first four library books I have currently checked out and need to get to soon, the rest are just books I want to read but don't plan to purchase. The red owned books aren't books I'll necessarily keep (except Braiding Sweetgrass, which I just got for Christmas) but I got them somehow or other, from free libraries or friends/family passing them along, and now I need to read them and decide!

I promised to tag @bigcats-birds-and-books so here is that belated tag! and then some people who I don't think have done this yet? @tinynavajoreads, @therefugeofbooks @theinquisitxor and anyone else feeling the urge! (No pressure, as always!)

CURRENTLY READING: FEBRUARY 2025

In the Ravenous Dark by AM Strickland

I remember following the hype and release of this one on twitter! And then the library never got it and it was never a priority and then I found it online for four dollars and now I am reading it :D Big fan of demons and blood and magic and pansexuality so I have hopes for this one.

[bigcats-birds-and-books]

the blue this year are Just Because books--i've gotten a zillion novellas in the last couple years that i'm super hyped to read, and i do like stacking my reading material with the season, so i'll try to do CAMP ZERO and BLACKFISH CITY while it's still wintry out there.

purple things are still driscoll-adjacent (writing project coded)--either weird or YA or sentient settings or crisis of faith or community, this year (i'm starting to Reach haha)(hopefully i'll finish these revisions this year though!!).

green starts my NaNo prep, because my aro ass is going to write some weird aro horror/romance hot mess in november, and i need Romance Novel Fodder--i've got a few other things on deck as the time approaches, but this is the start of my list for now >:D

The Nonfic, presented with neither pomp nor colorful circumstance:

Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube by Blair Braverman

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake

25 Books for 2025!

Thank you, @myheartalivewrites, for the tag! I'm very excited to read lots this year.

If you follow me on Bluesky, you might have seen the massive and incredible reading rec list I got from my friends on there. There are 60 books on it so far, so I can't list them all here. Also, I only read 20 books in 2024, lol, so I think 25 is probably a more manageable number.

Without further ado:

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian

When the World Tips Over by Jandy Nelson

The Extraordinaries by TJ Klune

Circe by Madeline Miller

Revolting Prostitutes by Molly Smith and Juno Mac

This is Why They Hate Us by Aaron H. Aceves

The Pairing by Casey McQuiston (I KNOW OK)

Loveless by Alice Oseman

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw

Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall

Crush by Richard Siken

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Ok, honestly, that felt like a LOT. Hahaha. I'm tagging @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @firenati0n, @kiwiana-writes, @holygnocchi, @roseharpermaxwell, @caterpills, @anincompletelist, @cha-melodius, and anyone else who wants to share what they're hoping to read this year!

The dark days club, Alison Goodman (also from my advent calendar)

The ballad of songbirds and snakes, Suzanne Collins

Camp damascus, Chuck Tingle

The locked tomb #1, Tamsyn Muir

Reread The ruin of kings #1, Jenn Lyons (so I can do the whole series)

Reread Iron Widow (Xiran Jay Zhao) so I can read Heavenly tyrant

Dr. Greta Helsing #4, Vivian Shaw (coming out this year)

Le jour du caillou, Véro Cazot (story) & Anaïs Flogny (illustrations) (it's a graphic novel)

The jasmine throne, Tasha Suri (and then read the whole trilogy if I like it)

The sunbearer trials, Aiden Thomas

Tagging some people but feel free to participate if you want!

Normally I don't plan my reading in advance, because I simply follow whenever my fancy leads me, but this challenge seems fun! 25 books I want to read in 2025 - let's go.

(I've been missing the classics recently, so this list is a bit classic-heavy. Also I ended up being unable to keep it to 25. Oops.)

Color coding:

pink = fiction

green = nonfiction

An asterisk means it's a book I already own in physical form.

As I read books on this list, I will italicize them.

1. Willa Cather - My Ántonia

2. Gabriel García Márquez - One Hundred Years of Solitude

3. Timothy Snyder - On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

4. Han Kang - Human Acts

5. Geraldine Brooks - Horse

6. Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone - This Is How You Lose the Time War

7. Ruth Kinna - The Government of No One: The Theory and Practice of Anarchism

8. John Steinbeck - The Grapes of Wrath

9. Virginia Woolf - A Room of One's Own

10. Leslie Feinberg - Stone Butch Blues

11. Mary Doria Russell - The Sparrow

12. Banana Yoshimoto - Kitchen

13. Howard Zinn - A People's History of the United States

14. Betty Smith - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

15. Fyodor Dostoevsky - Notes from the Underground

16. Upton Sinclair - The Jungle

17. Jorge Luis Borges - Labyrinths*

18. Olga Tokarczuk - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

19. Akwaeke Emezi - Little Rot

20. Naomi Klein - No Logo

21. Hengameh Yaghoobifarah - Ministerium der Träume

22. Kim de l'Horizon - Blutbuch

23. Yaa Gyasi - Homegoing*

24. Susanna Clarke - Piranesi

25. E. M. Forster - Maurice

26. Richard Adams - Watership Down

27. Ursula K. Le Guin - The Left Hand of Darkness

28. Henry James - The Portrait of a Lady

29. Mikhail Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita

30. Frank Herbert - Dune

Additionally, I'm going to tag on a second goal list. My "currently reading" pile has become way too huge, because I have a fickle heart and tend to hop around from book to book (or, as Bertie Wooster would say, I "flit and sip" like a butterfly). So I'm aiming to finish at least five books that I already started in 2024:

1. Albert Einstein - Essays in Humanism

2. Daniela Dröscher - Lügen über meine Mutter

3. Priscilla Murolo & A. B. Chitty - From the Folks Who Brought You the Weekend

4. Frantz Fanon - Black Skin, White Masks*

5. Simon Blackburn - Think: A Compelling Intro to Philosophy*
