What I read in 2025

I saw someone talking about what they'd read so far in 2025, and though I've re-read a lot of my comfort series this year (as I seem to keep doing) it was interesting to revisit what I had read through.

A few trends, series, or standouts that I noticed when collecting this info from my Kindle:

• I finished re-reading Jim Butcher's Dreden Files early in the year. Still fun!
• Brandon Sanderson's most recent books are excellent!
• Gentlemen Bastards and The Kingkiller Chronicles remain comforting.
• I wouldn't say I loved Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I definitely read it all.
• I was surprised to find that apparently the Ender's Game adjacent series have continued to be published since I was a kid. I re-read a few of my old books to see how it held up.
• The non-fiction I read seems mostly to be around me trying to address my issues with my place in my workspace.
• I've started reading through The Horus Heresy books from Games Workshop, again. I'm unsure I'll finish, or switch to the very much abridged reading order suggested by this post on Reddit.
