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'm going to go with Dungeon Crawler Carl book 7: This Inevitable Ruin. The whole series is great, but TIR reaches new heights. Just the scope and how everything meshes together is amazing. I'm looking forward to more.

    I started reading them this year on a recommendation from a lemmist, and got a bit fatigued with them by book 4. It's my first foray into litrpg, and while they're a rollicking good read, it started to bother me that there was a bit too much 'rpg' and not enough 'lit' for me. By that I mean, I'm into the overarching story with the aliens and what they're up to, but not so much the dungeon crawling stuff, and all the stat's and leveling and so on, which is the majority of the content. It's a bit grindy, is what I'm saying.

    That said I will get back to them, I think, after I finish the Stainless Steel Rat series I'm currently on.
