6- Favourite romance/romantasy of 2025
I’m picking a reread, the Tian Guan Ci Fu manhua adaptation, because the only other romance I read this year was a 1 star. And Hualian is one of my favourite couples of all time.
The other option was all the Lawsan fics I read on AO3
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m going to cry 🥹
The thing is, while I’ve read this as a fan translation already, it was five+ years ago. I know the story by heart, but I barely remember any of the artwork, so I’m rediscovering STARember’s gorgeous illustrations all over again.

TGCF’s manhua has finally started getting published in English, and I cannot overstate how much I missed STARember’s artwork.

5- Favourite character met in 2025
I don’t read much fiction, so my options are limited, but this would be Henry Winter from The Secret History. He’s the kind of character you want to write an essay about.
(this book has no adaptation so this is just a random guy who looks like his description)

I think I’m going to get some mileage on this guy, it’s a bit shameful that I’m halfway through and haven’t touched it in a year.

3- New genre tried in 2025
I hadn’t read poetry in a decade, and never in a non-academic setting. But this year I finally picked up Lana Del Rey’s poetry book, Violets Bent Backwards Over the Grass, and something clicked in me. So I now have a sizeable poetry collection.

I got my yearly recap from YouTube Music, and I’m genuinely shocked that The Amazing Devil only got second place for most listened song & album. But they’re first for artist, AS THEY SHOULD BE.
(tbh The Witcher simply got first because it’s a long-ass album and I listen to it while working.)

What You Have Heard is true is one of the best books I’ve read in my entire life. It’s Carolyn Forché’s memoir about how she witnessed the early days of the El Salvador civil war.
The content of this book is insane. The people, the events, the danger… It feels unreal. And yet, it isn’t fiction.

2- My top 3 books of 2025
1) What You Have Heard Is True by Carolyn Forché
2) One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
3) The Country Between Us by Carolyn Forché
I sense a theme here, and the theme is Western imperialism.

1- First book finished in 2025
That would be Dinner on Monster Island by Tania De Rozario.
It’s a collection of essays about growing up queer in Singapore that draws heavy parallels with horror movies.
