#top25of2025 I divided it up between fiction & NF. These were my favorite fiction books of the year. I generally read more NF & I read some good fiction but these were my standouts for the year.

Deblovestoread I started The Lilac People yesterday. Every time I think I‘m done with WWII books a new piece of that history presents itself. Grateful for this #AuldLangSpine recommendation 1h

AnnCrystal I'm about halfway through, Council of the Dolls right now 📚💝. 55m

ncsufoxes @Deblovestoread I feel the same way, I feel like I can‘t read one more book about WWII. Then I found The Lilac People & learned about another whole portion of history I knew nothing about. It‘s a bit of a heartbreaker but happy to have stumbled upon it. I hope you enjoy it. 18m

ncsufoxes @AnnCrystal I don‘t know how I came across Council of Dolls but it‘s such a unique & interesting story. I have really enjoyed learning more about parts of history that I was not fully taught in school. They are not necessarily happy stories but so full of depth. I hope you are enjoying it. 15m

pick

I really enjoyed this book. Another m/m love story (which I seem to be drawn to this year more than f/f.). It‘s about a guy who recently becomes a vampire learning how to be one and a really sweet love interest.

The Bones Beneath My Skin | T. J. Klune

so-so

I didn't connect with this one the way I have with some of Klune's other books. There's some early decisions by the protagonist that just don't make sense. And I refuse to believe that an unemployed reporter (excuse me, *journalist*) in the US in 1995 would have had the infamous Nokia cell phone. If anything, it would have been a pager. Just disappointing.
