Now that 2025 is ending what has been your favorite book you've read in the last year?

Mine is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (audiobook is the way to go!)

Lesser known: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Satire Horror. It was a fun ride.

All Sinners Bleed (mystery noir) by S.A. Cosby and My Friends by Frederik Backman are also my notable mentions

This is fresh on my mind because I just made my "reading recap 2025" with nine of the books I read.

Nothing Burns as Bright as You by Ashley Woodfolk was my stand out book of the year. Her acknowledgements also really resonated with me even though that's not usually something I look for in a book.

I also really enjoyed The Feather Thief despite the fact I rarely read non-fiction.
