2025's reading. Another year of alternating fiction with non-fiction, novels with short stories.

[Nick Clark @ngfclark]

This year's Christmas book haul was especially good. Grateful for a new year of exciting reading, starting with the long-awaited Book of Dust finale followed by Andrew Miller's Booker shortlisted.
