| Holy overuse of Holy, Batman. Sure the book is rather sophomoric. The characters conform to the constraints of the Romance genre(I think). The chaste young woman meets the dazzlingly handsome young, but still obscenely wealthy man. A man who when he' ...more | |

Obviously they're going to be a lot less limited in publication than fiction, and I hardly have to explain why. I just don't quite understand why no decent results come back when I Google "top nonfiction picks published in 2025"... before 2024, I'd always find at least a few I was interested in each month, but ever since then, not so much. Is it just me? If it is, throw some suggestions my way? I'd greatly appreciate it if you know of any.
