Below is a list of books I read in 2025.
I’ve been on a philosophy and biography kick for years now … I can’t get enough! Though this year I mixed in some history and a few others as well, but am still solidly in my nonfiction era.
Most of the links below are affiliate links to Bookshop.org, which I prefer to Amazon because it supports local bookstores, and one of my favorite things in the world is visiting small towns and immediately seeking out their local book shop.
