Reading List 2025
This year, I found reading more difficult. I struggled with reading daily, so I read most of the books I listed below during our yearly vacation.
As always, I try to read books by Women of Colour, and I buy directly from the authors or my local bookstores when possible.
I read for joy and knowledge. Hence, the list is separated into fiction and non-fiction sections.
I will update this list once a year.
Happy reading.
