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

I can definitely recommend the recent sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. The movie adaptation is not bad, but as in most cases the book is better. What's interesting is that the book version of Doctor Sleep is a sequel to the book version of The Shining, while the movie follows up the 1980 Kubrick film.
