2025 Booklist

67 books last year! Astonishing given how much I watch TV, but all else aside, more books than I've finished in a while. I might be getting a job, though, which will cut into all that free time.

(Recall that I read a few dozen books at a time, so I only log the ones I finish, or sometimes the ones I bail out on.)

  1. Dune [audio] - Frank Herbert. I started listening to the sequel and encountered reams of detail that have never made it into a screen adaptation and that I couldn't remember, so I started over.
  2. The Colour of Magic [audio] - Terry Pratchett.
  3. Dune Messiah
  4. Children of Dune [audio/text]
  5. God Emperor of Dune [audio/text]
  6. Heretics of Dune [audio/text] This is getting a little uncomfortably weird.
  7. Chapterhouse: Dune - Frank Herbert. These last two are eminently skippable.
  8. The Atlas Paradox
  9. The Atlas Complex - Olivie Blake. A difficult read: as with Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series, I had to make an omnibus with the previous book (The Atlas Six), so I could easily look up details from the first book, which I read a couple years ago.
  10. The Mummy Case - Elizabeth Peters. Not sure why these can be slow reads; they're maybe a little wordy, and lots of characters I couldn't remember apart. Maybe this is what Agatha Christie books are like?
  11. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories
  12. At the Mountains of Madness - H.P. Lovecraft.
  13. Ensaadi - Elisabeth Wheatley. Starting of a nice little set of novellas.
  14. The Paper Magician - Charlie N. Holmberg.
  15. Tiny House Basics - Joshua Engberg & Shelley Engberg. Written by the nice people building my Tiny Shop.
  16. Magic Bites [audio]
  17. Magic Burns [audio]
  18. Magic Strikes [audio/text]
  19. Magic Mourns [audio/text]
  20. Magic Bleeds [audio/text]
  21. Magic Slays [audio/text]
  22. Magic Gifts [audio/text]
  23. Magic Dreams [audio/text]
  24. Magic Rises [audio/text]
  25. Magic Breaks [audio/text]
  26. Magic Shifts
  27. Magic Binds
  28. Magic Triumphs
  29. Iron and Magic - Ilona Andrews. Delicious, delicious re-consumption.
  30. A Wizard of Earthsea
  31. The Tombs of Atuan
  32. The Farthest Shore
  33. Tehanu
  34. The Other Wind  - Ursula K. Leguin. The Earthsea omnibus has afterwords by the author, which are great.
  35. Gunmetal Magic - Ilona Andrews. Never read it! But that's all of the Kate Daniels books.
  36. In The Bleak Midwinter [audio] - Julia Spencer-Fleming.
  37. Taltos
  38. Yendi
  39. Dragon
  40. Tsalmoth - Steven Brust. I decided to re-read the books in what is theoretically story-chronology order. It's pretty great.
  41. A Fountain Filled With Blood [audio] - Julia Spencer-Fleming.
  42. Teckla - Steven Brust.
  43. Sabriel
  44. Lirael
  45. Abhorsen - Garth Nix. Still amazing after all these years.
  46. A Sunny Place for Shady People: How Malta Became One of the Most Curious and Corrupt Places in the World - Ryan Murdock.
  47. Out Of The Deep I Cry
  48. To Darkness and To Death
  49. All Mortal Flesh - Julia Spencer-Fleming. (I've decided it doesn't matter if it's been an audio or reading intake.)
  50. All Systems Red
  51. Artificial Condition - Martha Wells. MmmmmmmMurderbot.
