Time to Wrap-Up 2025

My goal this year was to read 50 books...I was so close! I read 40 (if I hadn't hit a reading slump, I think I could have made it). But regardless, it was a good year of books! Below are the books I read and the ratings I gave on Goodreads.

Reminder: The ratings I give are based on my own enjoyment of the book. Any author that puts their work out there deserves the utmost respect and applause for being brave enough to do so. If a piece of literature is not for me, that does not mean it is not a good book. It was just written for someone else. To all the authors, thank you for providing your work for others to enjoy!
