2025 Reading Recap

I've done my music recap for the year so now it's time for my reading overview. I do a lot of my reading through the Books app on my iPad but not everything. So while this is fairly acurate, it doesn't cover everything.

For example, right now I'm reading On the Divine Liturgy by St. Germanus of Constantinople in the paperback form.

Many of the theological books I read are just not available in digital formats. While I find that frustrating I understand there are multiple reasons for it.

Overview

This year had a pretty varied spread of book types, topics, and styles. There really wasn't one that really stood out to me.

I'm enjoying working my way through Terry Pratchett's books and pretty sure I'll continue those as well as anything that Benedict Jacka puts out. Jacka's latest series is set in London with the main character living in my neighbourhood which is really fun to read. I keep recognising places he describes in the story from my day to day life living in East London.
