yassss books, you were reading girl! based on what you shared, all of these seem like things i wouldn't mind adding to my TBR list. I actually read Chain-Gang All-Stars a few years back, listening to the audio version and it took me on a ride. I'm really interested in Martyr! out of all of these so I'll report back once I read it.
a few books I really enjoyed this year:
Words For My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur
I explored the first books from E. Lynn Harris
Happy Land
On the Rooftop
The List (whew, this was a RIDE!)
Good Dirt
1984 (first time reading it and probably the worst time to do so)
I’ve been so MIA on Substack but we are so back so soon 🙈 Thank you for sharing some of the books you read and loved in 2025!! On the Rooftop has been sitting in my personal library for a while - I’ll have to move it up on the TBR 📚
welcome back and I’m excited to see what you going brewing once you’re back back! Let me know what you think if you read On the Rooftop! So I finished The Wedding People this morning and oh, the tears. So funny but also deep and right on time! I also finished The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store last night so the bar is high for what I will read next!
Congrats on a full reading year! Thanks for these suggestions! Can't wait to add some to my TBR list. Hoping to read more than picture books this year 😂

I could stand to read some picture books myself 😂 Glad I could help add to your TBR!
I’m still stuck on “I read 72 books last year.” 🤯Uh-mazing girl! I’m going to try to get through your list of favorites this year.
Yay! I hope you'll like them too! :)
