My Year in Books 2025

26,884 pages read (my count, Goodreads didn't give one this year, though it would have been worthless as they indicate a wrong one from time to time. My copy of "On the Yankee Station" had 226 pages as opposed to the 0 given by GR)

88 books read

Average book length: 314 pages

Average rating: 3.6

I am still doing my usual statistics (which you will find here) but this is what Goodreads tells me. You can find links to all my books on Goodreads here or on my page under My Reading List

  1. Looks like a lot of fun titles -- even some of the ones whose titles I can't read have fetching covers!

    1. Thanks, Stephen. Unfortunately, the English speaking publishers are quite reluctant to translate foreign books, sometimes it takes ages. But I always add the title if it has finally been translated into English. So watch this space. ;)

  2. What a great year in reading! I see several books on your list that I've also read and enjoyed. My longest read of 2025 was 880 pages...The Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman. Though I prefer books around 350 pages. ;D

    1. It's always nice to discover books you have in common with somebody, Lark. As we do quite often. 880 books is quite an achievement. I love chunkies, always say a book starts at page 500. But that's joking, I also like shorter ones, just not too short.

    1. Thanks, Sarah. I had some reading slumps but overall, I am happy with the result.

  4. yes, yu have to be careful which edition you choose in your list on Goodreads. Especially if you click on the audio format, they tend to goof the amount of pages. I always choose which edition to select there, and not choose audio, even I listened to it. I just add the tag listened-to

    1. True, Emma. I usually choose the one with the cover I have (which I did this time) and don't check the pages the mention. Well, I know better in future. LOL
