Last year I managed to read 29 books, and year before 30, so my target of reading 31 books in 2025 seemed sensible.
I ended up reading 32 in the end – so another good year on the reading front.

This was made up of the usual varied selection of books and genres:
- Running books = 6
- Teenage Fiction = 10
- Thrillers = 9
- Autobiographies = 1
- Fantasy = 1
- Music = 2
- Science Fiction = 1
- Coming-of-age novel = 1
- Epic Novel = 1
A few favourites:
The Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer. Top rated book of the year: 4.5 stars. Loved it.
Mind Over Miles by Russ Cook. I love a running book and this was the top rated running book of the year: 4 stars. A book about grit and determination.
His Bloody Project by Graham Mcrae Burnet. Another 4 star book. Fictional story written in a very real way. Really liked it.
