My 2025 Reads

I read 53 books in 2025, exceeding my goal of 26 by 204%.

32 "new to me" authors.

Fifteen 5 star ratings.

Given the state of things in the world, it's no surprise that my reading skewed heavily towards fiction (46).

My December Reads

- Hot Desk by Laura Dickerman
- Dream State by Eric Puchner
- The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett
- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan

I'd say I finished the year with some strong selections. The last two are contenders for my favorite fiction in 2025.

ILLINOIS GOV. J.B. PRITZKER (D): "If they're gonna cheat, then all of us have to take a hard look at what the effect of that cheating is on democracy . And that means we've all got to stand up and do the right thing. So as far as I'm concerned, everything is on the table."

Texas is a majority-minority state—they know it. That’s why they’re scrambling to redraw the maps and mute our voices. But I believe in the people of Texas; our voices aren’t going anywhere, no matter how they draw the lines.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

At this point I would have been more surprised if this wasn't how it went down.

Trump: “He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed.”

Also Trump: constantly talking about other people’s IQs…

Also also Trump: can’t even remember who he appointed.
