Top 10 Books We Have Read In 2025 (Part 1)

It's an amazing book. I listened to this on audio and he narrates it himself. So Ethan Hawk it delivers it with such vigor, with such passion.

This is consistently brilliant from the first to the end page. It's one of the most fantastic mind-blowing endings that has stuck in my mind.

I just think Shauna Lawless is an author who is improving her craft of every single work somehow topping the last. I thought this was far superior in its craft and the character work.

This was utterly excellent, but in really different ways than I was expecting. I absolutely loved it far more than I expected and I can see that it's a classic for a reason.

I finally dived in just before Empire the Dawn was released and it was fantastic. It really delivered on those promises of book one that I really wanted to see more of.

Gardens of the Moon is really brilliant in my mind. I really enjoyed this far more than I expected, and I've only gained a greater respect and love for it as time has gone on.

This is the finale of the Green Bone Saga. And those divisive decisions have paid off. Jade Legacy stands out my memory far more.

King Sorrow is one of my favorite books I've read. It's a book that again has everything. It's incredible.

It really is one of my favorite books I've read all year. I'm going to be banging on about it so much.

I don't think I've read a book that does that quite as successfully as The Pillars of the Earth does. I just think it's a book that I will continue to recommend again and again and again.

It's very impactful. It's very easy to jump into and kind of access, but it is weird. But I would say it's weird and wonderful.
