      a memoir, fiction, and translated works

      Am I ever going to finish my reading list? Definitely not. Do I keep adding to it almost every day, not because I have shiny-new-object syndrome but because there’s simply too big a world of too many marvelous books to read? Yes, I’m glad you asked.

      My books-to-read list is ever-growing, but these nine just got a fast-track to the top of the stack. Here’s why:

      The shortlist: 9 books on my 2025 reading list

      1. Dinner for Vampires — a memoir

      2. Intermezzo — the latest novel by a new favorite author

      3. Cleopatra and Frakenstein — Instagram made me buy it

      4. Before the Coffee Gets Cold — a mainstay in my local bookshops

      5. The Café with No Name — a last-minute edition
