2025 List


2025 READING LIST

Last year, I struggled to find the motivation to read. This year, I would like to set aside time to finish some of the books that are on this list. I grew up with a massive passion for reading, and I am going to work to restore this over the course of 2025. I'm hoping that reading can replace doomscrolling on TikTok. I also feel that if I want to continue to grow as a writer, it is vital that I take the time to read some of the classics. Some of the books on this list are pretty old, and some are new, so I think that I'll have some easy reads, and some that will be slightly challenging. I'll update as I go through the list!
