2025 TBR Challenge
Rules: post 9 books you'd like to read in 2025
So, I saw the post made by @girldante (sorry if I tagged you but your post inspired me to join the challenge...) and I decided to make this challenge just for the sake of making a first list of books I want to read this year (hoping I'll manage to read the same number of books I reached last year).
These are all books I bought towards the end of the year or found at home. The first three books are from authors I discovered last year. I read already something from Ortese and Rea but not from La Capria so, let's see how it will be.
Also, it's been years since I read something from Hugo, it's time to see if older me can appreciate him better now (last time I read something from him I was 18 and it was the first time ever too so...uhm, yeah, I think it's time to re-evaluate him).
Don't mind about Pasolini and Calvino being placed like that haha. I'm planning to read almost everything they wrote and I want to read at least ONE book from them each year (that or switching to Levi and Buzzati once I'm not able to read something from them).
Please imagine there's a tenth spot dedicated to the last two books of The Mirror Visitor. I'm planning to read them too this year but I would have cheated by putting both of them here 😅
Tagging @rlvaille @jongside and @zaegreus (no pressure ofc!)
#I know what are you asking: Teresa why did you choose Quatrevingt-treize from Hugo?#the answer is simple: I'm scared to pick up Les Misérables and I don't want to re-read Notre-Dame de Paris and ending up disliking it#writing style wise btw#I loved the story of Notre-Dame but I remember how much painful was going through the descriptions#sadly despite having my father who's a certified fan I don't have anything from Dumas (father and son btw)#but I want to read something from them#in general I guess I'll read at least one French author each year for a while#FLAUBERT YOU'RE ON THE LIST TOOOOOO#la maggioranza di autori italiani qua dentro è per colpa di Ilenia Zodiaco e la sua brillante idea di iniziare i mattoni italiani#io quando vedevo il video ero tipo: ah e me lo dici adesso che ho già la mia lista personale?!#sì quel video mi ha fatto ricordare che ho una fracca di libri da leggere per quanto riguarda il 900 italiano#avrò l'ossessione per un po'#tag games
