A Lille trip, a lot of wine 🇫🇷
2025 Reading 📖
1-2. The Assassin's Blade (0.4 - 0.5) - Sarah J Maas
Including books 0.1-0.3, these are definitely helpful to read ahead of the main books in the series.
3. Love in Colour: Mythical Tales from Around the World, Retold - Bolu Babalola
My favourite of the stories were Yaa, Naleli & Thisbe.
But my favourite line was from Scheherazade... "I didn't like doing things I wasn't good at, but it turned out I loved learning how to love with him." This story hit me hard in the moment. From here until the 1001st night.
4. Throne of Glass - Sarah J Maas
5. Crown of Midnight - Sarah J Maas
There would be a crazy element of mystery around Celaena if I didn't read books 0.1-0.5 of the series. Context is key and I think it would have made book 1-2 harder than it already was to get into.
6. The Invocations - Krystal Sutherland
Slow start, but just as it got fast paced and climatic, it just as quickly fell off the cliff 🤷🏾♀️
7. Heir of Fire - Sarah J Maas
8. A Botanical Daughter - Noah Medlock
I can only describe this as a sweet botanical horror. It's one of those books where I feel like I watched it as a film, not as words on a page.
9. The Alchemist - Paul Coelho
I quite enjoyed this little life adventure, and the only way I'd read a self-help book - by accident.
10. Dream Count - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I loved all the main women in this book, but my favourite was Omelogor. Her bluntness told from other character perspectives initially felt too much but in her own chapters it made so much sense. Her reasons for nearly firing her personal chef, her offerings to other women, ways to thank her - I actually admired it, admired her. So I think it cut me in the same way when her happiness way questioned. "Don't pretend that you like the life you are living." It made me question myself too. But if you could see the beach I read this book on, I cannot complain about too much or for too long.
11. Elizabeth is Missing - Emma Healey
The speediest read of my year so far. Perhaps because the main character reminded me of my nan 🕊. As much as I loved when she was of complete sound mind, I miss her moments of clarity in the fog and smiled when she recognised us again, only briefly. Anyway the book itself, 100% admired her dedication to the search even if she was a little misguided.
12. A Fledgling Abiba - Dilman Dila
A Ugandan mythological fantasy novella... so glad this was a quick read because my curiosity would not have held up for much longer. Weird and only slightly intriguing.
13. The Long Walk - Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King)
100% preferred the film, I was able to connect with the on-screen characters better. I think you get a better sense of the pain there too.
14. Who Fears Death - Nnedi Okorafor
I enjoyed this adventure until it was about to end. I understood the intention of HOW the end was written but I still had to look up an explanation of WHAT I just read.
15. We're All Guilty Here - Karin Slaughter
I was gripped! The reveal. The secrets. She needs to complete the second book asap because I have QUESTIONS!
16. Arsenic and Adobo - Mia P. Manansala
Murder mystery and all the details on food, including some recipes at the end. 😘👌🏾
17. The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North
Last book of 2025 and wow it took me forever. I started this book back in February. The first 80%, I was over it. The last 20% a delight, but maybe because it was the home stretch and things were actually changing 🤷🏾♀️
Every year my partially colour blind dad decorates the house for Christmas. Every year it's easier to let him get on with it and just make ambiguous sounds when he asks if we like it. Less problems, more peace.
Suddenly…
Tell them!
maybe you don't need more time to heal, maybe you just need new experiences to show your nervous system a different reality
I mind my business, but I do pay attention.
I appreciate music for calming me in the worst moments
I love finding myself again through music. Life is so lovely when you pay attention
YES!
