Reading Goal for 2025 is to read 50 books. Posting here to keep track.

Not everything on this list will be a recommendation. For fiction I tend heavily to first person and books written in non-standard form so even if I rec it you may not find it to your taste.

Other things that will feature heavily; themes of Disability, chronic illness, gender non-conformity, high control groups, found families, and family dynamics.
Prioritization is also shown to woman and marginalized authors.
