End of Year Reading Round-up 2025
Jan. 9th, 2026 11:22 amTotal: 105 books
( Read more... )
Absolute favorite of the year: Jean Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers.
Honorable mentions: Dykette, Mapping the Interior, The Darker Proof, Zombie Pit, I Look Divine, Goodbye to Berlin, and Mother Night.
Really enjoyed the poems, essays, and short stories I read for the Bradbury Challenge in December, which I was too lazy to list here. Most of the nonfiction I read was informative and helpful, though "Shame-Sex Attraction" just made me weary in the same way Roxanne Gay's collection of essays on rape culture did.
Books I read significant chunks of but didn't count: A trans man's memoir called "Becoming a Visible Man" -- I was probably 80% through this when the browser I was reading it on crashed, and I never bothered to find my spot again. Can't remember the author's name right now, which is awful, because he's famous in the trans community. Also "Wicked" by Greg Maguire -- really enjoyed it, forgot I owned it, stopped reading.
