– Women Without Men by Shahrnush Parsipur (Speculative)
I’m currently reading Empress of the Nile by Lynne Olson about France’s first female egyptologist Christiane Desroches Noblecourt and her work to rescue Egyptian Antiquities and push for building Egypt a proper heritage pathway in its own archaeology and history.
Up next is Bringing ‘Em Back Alive by Frank Howard Buck on his global adventures collecting animals for various zoological gardens and circuses in the early 20th Century.

Ministry of time and Annie Bot were my top books of 2025, I read around 40 and just tore through those, both sci Fi with some romance elements (using romance loosely for Annie Bot)
A third of the way through *Lonesome Dove* and I can’t believe I waited so long. But unfortunately someone else is taking a turn with it from our local Libby library, so now I’m detouring to *Margo’s Got Money Troubles* and really loving it! Elle Fanning is an excellent narrator.
My favourites this year were:
– Beartown by Frederik Backman
– Atmosphere by Taylor Reid Jenkins
– Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Ben Stevenson
– Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
I am reading “The Passage” trilogy by Justin Cronin. It got a lot of awards and positive attention when it came out. Somehow I missed it. Fortunately, it is recommended on here.
Dystopian 3 part novel. Plausible, expansive plot, excellent character development, with insightful, sensitive writing. Really enjoying it.
i always reccomned the wayward children series by seanan McGuire, and i’m doing it again. it’s about a boarding school for kids who return from “narnia”/portal fantasties.
[to the moon and bac](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/224003731-to-the-moon-and-back)k is about one women’s quest to become the first Cherokee astronaut but also, it’s about much more than that
if you’re rereading harry potter, i want to recommend [cemetery boys](https://www.aiden-thomas.com/cemetery-boys), which is a really lovely magical ya novel
Red rising trilogy ! Very riveting world to get into.
The Electric Kingdom by David Arnold – dystopian, themes of reconnecting after isolation, with book-loving characters and jokes and one character who seems to be living in a time loop.
