2025 Reading Favorites

My Favorites Of what I read in 2025

I consumed 40 books in 2025. That’s more than I did even when I was in high school and reading all the time.

I listened to 27 and read 13. I will not participate in any conversations that imply the idea that listening to books doesn’t count. I am not the right person for you, and you should probably look for someone who will engage in that conversation with you.

With that out of the way, here’s the list of books I consumed, and I highlighted my favorites. You can watch my YouTube Video with my thoughts on the books that stood out to me this year. Please leave me a comment about what books you read in 2025. Did we read the same books? What were your thoughts? Something I didn’t read? Let me know what I should read Next
