My 2025 Reading Wrap Up. This year I read 94 books and exceeded my goal of 85 books.
“The House of My Mother” by Shari Franke was the overall winner and the non-fiction winner with “Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space” by Adam Higginbotham coming in second. On the fiction side I had “Atmosphere” by Taylor Jenkins Reid as the winner with “All the Broken Places (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, #2)” by John Boyne coming in second.
