In reply to Jean Wise. 65 is great, Jean! It's so fun to look back through a year of reading because there are inevitably books that I had forgotten I'd read. ha. May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas as well!

In reply to Kym. Glad your s-i-l is enjoying Everyone Writes! Great idea to give a book that you can then borrow. I love it. :)

In reply to Joanne Tracey. Thanks, Joanne. I understand the dread! It's hard to decide favorites because each book is often so different, and is good (or bad) in different ways.

Thank you for these quick summaries and the takeaways and the think abouts. I like how you summarize these. I need to look back on all I read – I think about 65 books this year and see what favorites stood out. Good idea. Blessings on your holiday next week, dear friend!

What a great list of favorites! I remember wanting to read Traffic, but to no one’s surprise, I haven’t got to it yet. I gave Everyone Writes to my son-in-law for a gift, and told him I want to borrow it sometime. He has been enjoying it! Happy Holidays and Happy Reading!

I’ll do my round-up post after Christmas, but am already dreading trying to narrow it down! Some thought-provoking reads on this list. Thank you for linking up this year.

In reply to Willow.

Yes, I love fiction too! 🙂 But I don’t read near as many novels as I do nonfiction books…maybe 1 out of every 10 books I read is a novel. I can’t seem to read more than one novel at a time, whereas I can keep several nonfiction books going at once. I’m sharing my favorite 5 novels here tomorrow.

In reply to Martha J. Orlando. I just can't believe it's already time to collect 2025 favorites. Where did the year go???
