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

    Azalea Ellis’ A Practical Guide To Sorcery series starting with A Conjuring Of Ravens. Absolutely loved it and I have listened through 3 times since I got them in early December. The audio books are fantastic and really well read and the story is such a great power progression fantasy. It is not as serious and dark as much of modern fantasy with a lot of love for magic and some really great characters. The magic system is also awesome and not overpowered or silly, yet it has flexibility in terms of power level so you don’t feel like the characters have massive plot armour or answers to problems that just fix plot holes. Very well constructed, a great piece of fiction.
