Hereβs my January reading Wrap-Up
My favourite read was The Blackfire Blade by @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social - a fun fantasy sequel that I adored by the end!
My most surprising read was The Luminous Faeries and Mothra which is a Japanese translated novella on the origins of Mothra.

Eleniβs Top Reads of 2025 | FanFiAddict
I couldn't really pick a top five, nor a top ten this year. So you get the fun of a top 15! Like last year then, I'll just be sharing all of their ...
It seems that with every year I need to sit & write this type of list, I find more excellent books to read & can narrow down my favorites even less.
So, for 2025, I present you a Top 15 of fantasy, thriller, horror, post-apocalyptic, and historical fiction flavors!

Leo, a black cat, in the garden
Holding Leo, a black cat
James with Leo in the garden
Our beloved cat Leo is gone, hit by a vehicle. Leo was a brilliant person. Insatiably curious, always eager for the next adventure, eternally optimistic. He made my life better every single day, and we thought heβd have so many more days. I donβt have the words to describe how much I will miss him π
