Enjoy reading, keep writing.
My year in books, a collage of bookish stats from Goodreads. I read 72 books with a total of 27.7k pages for 2025, which made me a top 5% Goodreads reader and reviewer. It also includes a tally of books I've read each month of the year, my 5-star reads, and my top genres—mystery thriller, classics, historical fiction. I achieved my reading goal—75/50 books. 2025 was an amazing bookish year. 💙📚
