Favourite books of 2025
[Graphic novels get their own post here!]
My favourite - mostly queer, SFF & historical - books I read this year. It was a rough year and there’s so much horrific news for marginalised people of many kinds, I mostly read purely for fun to bolster my morale, and made a real effort to just not finish books I wasn’t vibing with - it meant I found a TON of books I really loved this year!!!

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
by John Green (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Short but wide-ranging and fascinating nonfiction on a shockingly prevalent disease, and more broadly on how social forces affect (curable!) illness. Really accessible and engaging, linking a lot of historical and social threads along with a particul ...more | |

Maia's review
of
He Who Drowned the World (The Radiant Emperor, #2):
"This book is a masterclass. I was so impressed at how well and how hard it hit its reoccurring themes- gender, power, ambition, the fear of/experience of living in a disabled body, the violence born of grief, the hollowness of revenge, and how damage"

| I’m basically always going to read this author’s gay romances. If YOU want some YA fae/ fairytale enemies to lovers - with lesbians, a sweet ending, and also comic - this is the book for you. | |

Wow, just fantastic. I grew up not far from Brixton & loved hearing this part of its history - but the book feels relevant way out beyond the bounds of south London, and is told with so much warmth. In the introduction, Okundaye lays out that he’s pre ...more |

INCREDIBLY good. I don’t often find literary comics that I really love, but this was so absorbing and so beautifully constructed, every panel essential. Cannon and the ways every character treat her feel so specific and palpable. Cannon’s writer frie ...more |

Very readable fantasy, in a modern UK with secret powerful magic users (as you might guess from the title.) If you enjoy naturey witchy stuff, spice girls & pop culture references - or Dr Who tbh! - you might love this. I found the trans plotline REAL ...more |

| At the start & finish, when this book was at its wildest, it was a fun SFF comedy with some excitingly unlikeable characters (Glenda.) I wouldn’t call it romance-genre - the tone is almost more hitchhiker’s guide, but more goofy and vaguely kinky. (T ...more | |

Everyone who kept telling me to read this was right... A bit of history I truly think everyone should know about, told extremely readably and linked very consciously and closely to our present moment. It builds a picture of the dawn of the factory age ...more |

“I want to sharpen my pride on what strengthens me, my witness on what haunts me. Whatever we name ourselves, however we end up shattering our self-hatred, shame, silence, and isolation, the goal is the same: to end our daily material oppression.”

“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply? What is love of one's country; is it hate of one's uncountry? Then it's not a good thing. Is it simply self-love? That's a good thing, but one mustn't make a virtue of it, or a profession... Insofar as I love life, I love the hills of the Domain of Estre, but that sort of love does not have a boundary-line of hate. And beyond that, I am ignorant, I hope.”
