26ish books 2025

A shiny new thread for 2025.

All welcome and note 26 is just a number. Everyone can set their own target and you are welcome here even if you only read 2 books a year.

I personally count the larger novel style books I read to my children and audio books I listen to. Others don't and there are no rules.

I look forward to all your suggestions again this year.

Thank you. I'm aiming for 20+ - will see how I get on. Will add in some reviews this year too.

I am aiming for about one book a month as I have two children who are young and I seem to spend too much time soon scrolling on my phone!

Great that you include audiobooks. I'm struggling to "read read" but getting through a lot of audiobooks. Thank god for Audible.

Going to try to include an actual book or two (!) this year. Need to work on my focus and concentration. It's shocking these last couple of years.

Hello everyone! Making place for 2025!

Hi I would love to join.

For the last few years I've set my target at 24 and it's been 13 then 15 and then this year 18.

I love historical fiction and also like to link my reading to the seasons or month.

Happy reading!

I will definitely join. Currently reading the hotel avocado. The main character is a whiny, needy creep but I do enjoy reading it 😹

@Breathmiller I've just finished the 1st book in the seven sisters series so would like to continue with those. Had them on my TBR pile for ages. Your book sounds interesting I'll take a look at that one!

Hi,
Would love to join in with this please. I have a lovely pile of books waiting to be read.

Thanks for the new thread! Looking forward to 2025 reading, I've been on the last 3 threads and really enjoyed the slow-ish pace and people's recommendations.

Hi,

Please can I join? I love books and love reading. I want to read more in 2025 now that I have ceased studying for a while 🙂 I have a pile of books on bed stand ready to be read 😆

Hi OrangeBadger and welcome Flowers90. Do you have one in mind for your first?

I have How We Disappeared by Jing Jing Lee ready for bedtime after the Bells.

Flowers90 · 31/12/2024 19:35

I'd love to join. Want to get back into reading and out of the phone scrolling habit. Dh brought Me a new reading light for Xmas. It's helped massively this week when I'm stuck upstairs with our 1 yr old

@Tinkhasflown thanks for setting up a new thread. Looking forward to another year of leisurely reading.

Breathmiller · 31/12/2024 19:29
