General

Everything that does not fit into a specific category. Reading lists, gift guides, and whatever else I feel like writing about. "2025 Reading Recap" is my annual tradition. Another year in the books, and 2025's list is really special. I look forward to writing this one every December. "Books to Gift Last Minute" is for the gift-givers who are coming down to the deadline every second half of December. I have been there, so I put together a list that actually helps.
