10 Books to Read for 2025
Tagged by @vardasvapors
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Shostakovich and the siege of Leningrad by MT Anderson — I adore Shostakovich, I adore his 8th symphony, and I recently read Nicked and adored that, cannot wait to read this one.
An Officer and a Spy, by Robert Harris — I succumbed to the overwhelming dash-induced eyes-emoji and watched Conclave, and that was fun, and then people said the book was different in interesting ways about media consciousness in particular, so that was fun, and then I was auto-suggested other works by the same author, and intrigue and soul searching surrounding the Dreyfus affair sound fun, so sure, why not. I found Conclave a quick read, this is a good time of year for another quick read.
Piranesi. I haven’t read it yet, I have a copy, need I say more?
Spinning Silver. Novik is hit or miss for me, but I have heard good things about this one, and I have a copy and should, you know, actually read it.
Sovereign, by CJ Samson. Third in a series of annoyingly good Tudor-era mysteries. I say “annoyingly” because I am a bit Over the Tudors and I wish there were equally good richly and authentically realized, deeply characterized, and carefully plotted historical mysteries written in less familiar settings, but alas, these are very good.
The Republic of Salt, by Ariel Kaplan. I read book one and loved the world-building, though I found the characters a little flat. I am curious to see where the story goes in book 2.
Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior: What They Did and How we Know by David Hone. Prehistoric ecology is so fascinating, scientific inference is so cool.
I really want to read a good in-depth scientific biography of Ibn al-Haytham and cannot find one :(
I just put The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson on this list because it sounds like the kind of thing I can't not try.
Mmm for number 10 let me put War and Peace, somewhat aspirationally. I am subscribed to the chapter-a-day project, but I fell off the wagon when we got to Rostov's deeply predictable and horrifying "oooh, let me lose everything gambling beyond my means!" bit and stopped reading, and after that, you know, those chapters pile up awfully fast.
Some books I have read so far this year are: There are Rivers in the Sky, Elif Shafak (it annoyed me, much to my disappointment); Nicked, MT Anderson (raves!!); A Drop of Corruption, Robert Jackson Bennett (I really liked it but I liked book 1 more).
If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged if you want to do it, and please tag me so I can read your answers!
It's always something.
Tagged by @limbreaper to post my 10 most mentally unwell pics from my phone (no downloading) and tag 10 people. This is actually just 10 memes from my phone but this was a really fun game, thanks for the tag!
I think everyone has been tagged by now (has @shes-a-voodoo-child?) feel free to give it a go 😀
