Year in books for 2025

2025 was another great year for reading, even if only to get away from mindless scrolling on my phone.

My favourite non-fiction book was Waves in an Impossible Sea by Matt Strassler and fiction was Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Those are narrow favourites though. I could have happily picked other books from the list.

No major changes planned for 2026. Maybe just some more targeted books on Canada, given the state of my nation and the rest of the world.
