Your 'year of reading' from Goodreads has a different look this year.
Edit: 😆, it doesn't. It's the same at the website.

I am starting my list of books I know will be coming out in 2025!!!
Joining in! Not bad considering I didn‘t read much until 2012 and have a severe recency bias.
Really surprised there were none by Maggie O‘Farrell or Lauren Groff or many other authors. Too many by Saunders and Ward. They‘re both fantastic authors, but I feel like they should‘ve chosen no more than one from each author for a wider variety. 🤷🏻♀️🤔
I didn‘t keep track of the exact number, but I also have at least 10 more books from the NYT list sitting in my TBR shelves. Now I want to find and read them so I can re-do this checklist. 😄
Thanks to the #Bookerprize, the #ToB and the #1001books list I‘ve read a lot of them yet I do think it‘s too America focused. I do love American fiction, but I‘d expected a more international list.
One of the four lectures I am doing here in Bandung, Indonesia. What a privilege to be able to travel to different parts of the world to talk about my favourite things. The effusive and warm welcome is quite unforgettable.
