Here is a complete list of the 50 books I read in 2025, listed in the order that I read them. This was the least number of books I have read in recent years. Although I maintained a habit of reading every day, I was very busy with work, school, and other commitments in 2025 and did not post many detailed book reviews. When I created this blog, my intention was to read, learn, and share about the books I read. In 2026, I plan to get back to posting more detailed book reviews about books I rated 5 out of 5 stars.
