My favourite books I read in 2025.

Some of the most iconic Finnish books every Finnish person has read or at least acknowledge as timeless classics.

P.S. These authors have so many other captivating books but the ones chosen are the most popular of the bunch. Some books didn't have an English translation here but they're still worth reading if you're able to.

Romance books without the detailed love scenes.

Indian non-fiction books that have intrigued me personally. I do not vouch for these as I have not read most of them, they are just books I am interested in reading.

my best books of 2025 - may not actually have released in 2025

Books that ride the line between peaceful solitude and poignant loneliness.

Stories featuring characters who were on top of the world and lost it all (either as the premise or over the course of the story). Something about characters who were raised on a pedestal but threw it all away tickles my brain in exactly the right way, especially if their downfall is entirely their own fault. Partially inspired by Taylor Swift’s song Castles Crumbling. Suggestions for books and better emojis welcome!
