50 Books Challenge - 2025 Round up

Hello again 50 Bookers! Here’s a separate thread to gather together our top recommendations from the year. Please post your final lists, or just your outstanding reads – good and bad - if you prefer. If you are posting the full list just a reminder to please bold your favourites (the best written, plot, characters, or books that stayed with you long after you finished them), and italicise the duds, disappointments or any DNFs if you can.

It would be handy if you could mark which are Fiction and which Non-Fiction too. Thank you!

I’ll wrangle the spreadsheet and put together some meaningful stats in early January – there’ll be a reminder on the main thread nearer the deadline.
Still ploughing through my current NF so I’ll come back later in December with my bolds.

Cheers! Roman

Also voting for a Clueless watch!

Thanks @RomanMum I’m excited to see the full list of bolds!

Right, I've found Clueless on the iPlayer, so am downloading to take on holiday with me. Its only 90 minutes, so might watch on the plane. Exciting!

Ooh, let us know what you think.

Warning, I watched Clueless with my DDs and they were horrified at the central age gap relationship. Even though the age gap was nowhere near as big as Emma and Mr Knightley's.
