The Julien Baker and TORRES album Send A Prayer My Way was an unexpected combination that pulled me in more than I thought it would.
Tourist's album Music Is Invisible was also a great find that came late this year with a December release.

Hands down my favorite album of the year was Racing Mount Pleasant's self-titled album. I love the flow of the album and how well the horns are used in the band. Hopefully get a chance to see them live at some point.

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet
Winner of the 2025 Hugo the fantasy, bio-punk, kaiju, murder-mystery book was a lot of fun. I ended up working through both the sequel and the previous Divine Cities trilogies too.

The West Passage by Jared Pechacek
The imagination and unfamiliar characteristics of so much of this book made it a lot of fun to read. Lots of mystery and strangeness you definitely feel like you are exploring the world with the characters.

It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over by Anne De Marcken.
This book absolutely stunned me. Winner of the Le Guin prize in 2024 and I found it while working through the list of nominees. Highly recommend giving this a whirl.

I've been working on filling a personal knowledge gap on Native American history before 1776 and read two good books this year.

Tripping on Utopia by Benjamin Breen. Describing the world of Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson and their research crowd as they began to work with psychedelics. Good look into their crowd, the experiments, the divergent labs, and the dreams that pushed them.

There is No Place for us by Brian Goldstone was easily the best nonfiction book I read this year. Describing the experiences of five families in Atlanta who are working and can't find a place to live. We are all more precariously situated that we probably want to admit.
