Except for some of the classics, and the very rare, genuinely good contemporary ones I've already read. Novels nowadays have been so disappointing - and often so artificial, badly written and edited (and f*ck trends, fads and TikTok, and especially f*ck AI) - that I feel like I'm done with them. It's graphic novels and short stories for me from now on.
I don't trust Goodreads anymore, either. I don't trust anything that is owned and controlled by billionaires (and like those wilfully ignorant, anti-education monsters care about books, anyway, unless it's to ban and censor some and propagandise others). The Goodreads Choice Awards this year - and the year before - are terrible, and are the last straw. And how dare they remove their graphic novel, middle grade, and picture book categories - that is shameful and disgusting.
It's in December that I've resolved to read less and finally resubscribe to Netflix and Disney+, so stay tuned for news there.
(I've quit Amazon Prime, too.)
In 2025, I got a driver's licence and a car, and for the first time in my life, I went to a concert (in November, in Brighton) (Gary Numan, and Raven Numan - I got her T-shirt!). In 2026, I'm going to get a new, much more favourable job and possibly a new house. Hopefully I'll be more social and start dating again after too long, as well. Some things to look forward to.
I will definitely be reading far less next year. And I mean it this time.
Here are the books I reread this year, and therefore rereviewed:
All the Jem and the Holograms comics
All the Adventure Time comics
Not rereads, but important rereviews:
I still encourage other people to read as much and as often as possible. Keep reading. Keep hoping.
Keep fighting fascism.
