Will Swardstrom's Favorites of 2025

So…the end of the year is (checks the calendar) just a few sleeps away. Apparently it is the job of a book reviewer like myself to provide a BEST OF THE YEAR list and I have honestly been keeping a list like this in mind since January 1 of this year. Now, I have 9 […]

Best Reads of 2025

December 23, 2025 by DB Rook Leave a Comment

Traditionally published: Although I often gravitate towards indie books, I am also a slave to mood, and 2025 was a year I attempted to catch up on many books and authors that I felt I should already know whilst also giving my reading list a sprinkling of something completely new. Most of the year I […]

George Dunn’s Top Reads of 2025

December 22, 2025 by George Dunn Leave a Comment

Agh, here we are again, hey? It’s that time of year where I am allowed, without judgment (thems the rules) to self-indulgently tell you all about my year, and the best books I read within it. Definitely a joy for me, and also definitely a thrill for you! Right? Right? 2025 has been absolutely shambolic, […]

Ryan’s Favorite Reads of 2025

December 19, 2025 by Ryan Kirk Leave a Comment

There’s not a doubt in my mind that 2025 has been an incredible year for reading. With a few weeks left to go in the year, the numbers aren’t quite finalized, but I was able to read 80+ books, about 50 volumes of manga, and 80+ short stories, all together adding up to somewhere over […]

C. J. Daley’s Top Reads of 2025

December 18, 2025 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Another year is coming to a close if you can believe it…and I have once again read some books! As always, it’s a trial narrowing it down for me. All of them have been 5/5 star reads for me, so each and every one has my full endorsement.  I’m currently at 90 reads completed for […]

Here we are, nearing the end of 2025 and it has been another banner year of reading! By the time this goes live, I’ll have read 61 books, 60 of them have been indie or self-published books. I love the breadth of genre and imagination of indie books, there are so many gems out there […]

January 2, 2025 by Pippin Took, the shire hobbit Leave a Comment

This was an interesting year in terms of reading for me. I read more than last year but I also had more disappointments than before- five 1 star reads in fact. Reflecting on it, I am just so happy at all the books that did indeed work for me. In fact, I even have an […]

Frasier’s Favourites of 2024

January 1, 2025 by Frasier Armitage Leave a Comment

2024 has been a monster year for SFF. From indie fungalpunk-noir (like Mushroom Blues by Adrian M. Gibson) to brand new epic fantasy series (The Gods Below by Andrea M. Gibson) to time-loop romances (A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen) to fantasy-creature-compendium-encyclopaedias (Loreland Bestiaries by Hope Christofferson) and innovative weird fiction that I still can’t fully describe (Three Eight […]
