Favourite reads of 2025

I also enjoyed T. Kingfisher's "A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking" and of course got on board with the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" by Matt Dinniman hype. Finally read "The Martian" by Andy Weir and watched the movie this year. Read another 50+ books this year and honestly enjoyed most of them. Just started the Sun Eater series and buckling in for the long haul.

@cowleyc Haven't read those Tchaikovsky works (he's quite the prolific author) but I've read three others. The good ones were Spiderlight, which turns heroic fantasy on its head, and Children of Time (Whoops! The terraformer just gave us intelligent spiders).

Loved Hyperion. It was a sci-fi version of Canterbury Tales although with a bit higher stakes. After you finish Fall of Hyperion, be sure to continue with the two Endymion books.
