Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2025 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Books/Series I Read in 2025 + Some Non-Bookish Things!

I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...
 
Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2025

Bookish Musings: Top Ten Characters from Books I Read & Games I Played in 2025

Next up on my end of the year lists: characters from the books I've read and games I've played!

Update: Life and Books (Apr 2025)

I'm a little late getting this posted because I kept putting it off and off and then got distracted today. But it's here now! No improvements to my personal life, but I have a few other things I can talk about. I've tried listening to numerous fantasy RPG podcasts but, aside from Dungeons & Daddies, they never end up keeping my attention. I think I finally found another one though! It's...
