These are some of the books I read in 2025, only 48 in total this past year. My average in other years has been 70 plus.. but some books this last year were 400 pages and more, and so took quite a while to read. Also there were 7, that I started and gave up on, I can't read a book I'm not enjoying.
These pictured were listed in Good Reads. I really loved, 'Homecoming' by Kate Morton, and followed it with her 'Lake House,'
Authors whose books I like, I'll read a few of, eg I read 7 Freida McFadden's books. And when I need a 'comfy' read I read Elizabeth Berg's books and I read 4 of hers. New to me authors were, Ruth Mancini, Andrea Mara and I read the latest book by Graham Norton, 'Frankie.' And the latest by Louise Doughty, 'A Bird in Winter.' I'd read everything else they'd written and wasn't disappointed.
I can't honestly say why I like some books and not others, sometimes its a book by an author, whose other books I've loved. I absolutely love books by Kristin Hannah, but 'Night Road,' was ok, but I wouldn't have finished it , if it was written by some one else!
But saying that I've read a book, which was not a genre I like, but it was the only book available to read on an aeroplane (before Kindles), so I read it......an action and adventure book left by someone who had got off the plane!
I'm an avid reader, so I'll try anything, except fantasy, so no Harry Potter for me, no Horror, or overtly sexual, or anti- Christ. And I will read an auto-biography if I knew of the person, although it has to be of interest to be or it joins my DNF pile!
What about you, can you tempt me with a book you read this past year?
