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

Hail Mary was excellent, looking forward to the film.

TBH though, I read so many books this year it's hard to keep track.

Electric State was a stand out, and I fell down the rabbit hole of his other three books too!

The author also made a wonderful ambient album under the same name. It is wonderful background/dark ambient and fits the vibe of his other art perfectly!
