Iguana's 2025 Books

I dnf'd so many books this year. Anyway, please read The West Passage. I'm not sure it's my favorite book of the year, but if I had to...

An entire third of the books I read last year were rereads. I also managed to discover multiple books that have made it into my all-time favorites list and dnf'ed more books than I ever have before.

2025 book blanket

she's finished! an absolute labour of love, with 12 months of reading wrapped up in 1 blanket.

some stats:

104 squares

measures 115x200cm

is 9% cat sebastian books

is 6% heated rivalry

i wish i could re-do the memento mori squares because i dislike them all

it's not as wonky as it looks in the photo but i don't have anywhere tall enough to hang it properly

(the previous two aren't stats but that's ok)

it was really fun, i enjoyed making it, I doubt i'll ever do it again.
