missingvolume | 2025 book reading year in review (Reply)

So I read twice as much fantasy as I did science fiction. My mystery numbers were up due to catching up on the Michael Connelly books and most of those were audios from the library. Very little on the graphic novel front and some of the fantasy books could fall into the romantasy side of the shelf. I read/listened to a lot of novellas this year so that will be a hard category to fill out on the Hugo ballot. This year I finally got an Audible account since there were lots of older SF books I wanted to listen to that were locked into that format. In Conquest Born by C S Friedman was one that I wanted to listen to but not spend the time rereading the paper version. Two thirds of my reading is review copies and then the rest was from my library either in audio or paper versions. I only reviewed a handful of books I bought most of those were ebook only on day of release. I had a few nonfiction titles I did read but only reviewed 3 of them since some I skim and don’t feel like posting reviews about them.
