    Another year, another recap post! Here is a quick overview of the books I read and enjoyed in 2025.I don’t read a lot, so don’t expect a big post. I read a bit every night, to disconnect my brain and fall asleep. For this reason, you will only find fiction novels on my reading list. I also enjoy book series most of all, because they allow you to go deep into a story. In 2025, I read 5 different book series:The Captive’s WarThe Captive’s War is a trilogy of books by The Expanse’s authors James S. A. Corey. I enjoyed their writing style in The Expanse and was happy to see them start a new story. So far they’ve only released one book and one novella, but book 2 is scheduled to be released in the spring and you can already pre-order it. I enjoyed the beginning of the story, it sets up a really interesting world.Children of TimeThe Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I read all 3 books and pre-ordered the fourth, also scheduled to be released in the spring. It’s a unique take on the future of humanity / alien life stories / artificial intelligence. The main story follows life as it involves on a terraformed planet. Instead of the monkeys that were supposed to evolve on the planet to pave the way for humans to get there, it’s spiders that end up evolving on that world. We follow their evolution, and in parallel we follow what’s left of the human race as they search for a planet to live. Dungeon Crawler CarlDungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman.This was my surprise of the year. I was looking for a lighter read after Children of time, and stumbled across the first book of the series (there are currently 7 books in the series, with more on the way). I wasn’t familiar with the litRPG genre and didn’t know what to expect. Turns out, this is exactly what I needed. Picture this: a man (Carl) and his ex-girlfriend’s cat (Princess Donut) get thrown into a televised dungeon crawler gameshow, run by aliens on what’s left of planet Earth. If that sounds crazy, you’re getting the idea. 🙂 The 7 books are easy reads, original, entertaining, and definitely a good way to disconnect after a long day. I would definitely recommend the series. The first book in particular was interesting because I was discovering the story and the genre. SiloFollowing that, I read the trilogy that inspired the TV series on Apple TV+: Silo, by Hugh Howey. I watched the show before to read the books, and I was surprised by how well the show had followed the original story. It’s a dark series about the future if humanity, but one one that I would recommend as well. He Who Fights with MonstersThis was my last series of the year. He Who Fights With Monsters, by Shirtaloon, is comprised of 12 books. I’m not sure if the series is over, I’m at book 10 right now. I have mixed feelings about it. It’s an interesting story and idea, again in the litRPG genre. I’m just not a fan of the writing, it’s very repetitive, and I often wonder how this was published as it often feels like I’m reading something that I already read in the last chapter. The books for sure could be a lot shorter. The main character is also not very likable, and his growth over the books is overly explained, again and again, instead of letting us feel his growth for ourselves. At this point you must wonder why I read 10 books of this! I’d love to give you a good reason, but I think it’s just sunk cost fallacy 🙂If I had to recommend only one book series, it would be Dungeon Crawler Carl. I’m looking forward to the next book!
