Ooof. I don‘t know if I can let that be my last book of 2025. 😭

This is an American classic I‘d missed reading up till now, and I think I‘m still stunned by the ending. The characters and their friendship here are both masterfully written—an intimate portrait against the backdrop and looming dread of WWII.

BarbaraJean This was my April #BookSpin, my #192025 pick for 1959, and the last book on my #10BeforetheEnd list, completing all three of those challenges for the year!

julieclair Congrats on completing all 3! 🎉🎊🎉 2h
Hooked_on_books I read this in high school in the early 90s and remember loving it. We read Catcher in the Rye the same year and I liked this one so much better. Not sure why Catcher gets all the attention. 2h
Lcsmcat I don‘t think I got the whole “separate peace” aspect when I first read this in high school, until I studied the history of WWII. But I loved it just the same. 22m

It feels like cheating that this was my December #DoubleSpin, but I can‘t argue with the #BookSpin fates! I loved reading these cozy stories for #KindredSpiritsChristmas—a delightful respite from the busy-ness of the season.

My recordkeeping isn't the best but I read around 40 books from my #BookSpin list this year, and DNF'd around 18. It really pushed me to finally get to books!

In some gone but not forgotten challenges, I read 16, DNF'd 2 #SeriesLove books and read 34, DNF'd 4 #BacklistAuthor books.

Altogether I'm pretty happy with my reading year, except that I've had anxiety around having too many books on my plate. Still working on strategies for that.

willaful Oh, and I have so successfully caught up with these authors, I'm taking them off the Backlist list: Helen Simonson, Holly Black, Leigh Bardugo, Mhairi McFarlane. Amor Towles and Nina Stibbe are both one book away, I think. 6h
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Fabulous progress!! 2h
