*Cuppa Coffee's Top 100 albums in 2025*
The usual mix of classical, electronic, ambient, a little bit of blues, hip hop, techno, etc.
My No.1 album was Billy Woods' GOLLIWOG but the majority were absolutely not albums from 2025.
Looking forward to another year of music.

I've found it very hard to read novels over the last few years - work, family, social media, the state of the world, etc.
But these four books I absolutely adored. Recommend me something to read this year that you think might resonate.
Perhaps not too classic, but nothing trashy either.
