Now that 2025 is ending what has been your favorite book you've read in the last year?

Mine is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (audiobook is the way to go!)

Lesser known: Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle. Satire Horror. It was a fun ride.

All Sinners Bleed (mystery noir) by S.A. Cosby and My Friends by Frederik Backman are also my notable mentions

Upvote for Fanon. I read Wretched of the Earth as my first book of '25, and A Dying Colonialism late in '24. If you haven't already, I'd definitely recommend The Water Dancer, Ta-Nehisi Coates's only novel and his 2024 pseudomemoir The Message.
