libraryperilous browses her own stacks yet again in 2025

Hello, and happy 2025!

I'm Diana, and I read science fiction, historical fantasy, historical mysteries, and a smattering of classics. I also like nonfiction about birds and the ocean, but I don't read it often. I read a number of middle grade novels each year, as well as picture books.

In 2025, I plan on renewing my interest in jigsaw puzzles and classic films, and pitchers and catchers report next month. The Mets were so close last season! I really enjoyed watching volleyball and surfing during the Olympics, so I plan on renewing my interest in lesser sports this year as well.

Other than diversifying my hobbies, I have no 2025 resolutions. I'm going to try to be a little less stressed out about bad news and a little more proactive about the issues I care about. I'm going to try to eat a little more healthfully and exercise a little more. But I'm not going to be on a tight schedule about any of this or set specific goals.

I am going to try to do quarterly deep dives on topics of interest. My first topic is stained glass. No, I will not be learning to make stained glass. I just will learn more about it. We'll see how long I can maintain this idea. Will I make it to a second quarter topic?

Happy reading in 2025 to all!

Best book of 2024:

Happy new year, Diana! Ok, ok, I'll read Frontera. Hold placed 😊

Looking forward to many more book bullets from you this year!

>1 libraryperilous: Happy New Year and New Thread, Diana! I look forward to many more well-aimed book bullets in 2025.

Happy new year and happy new thread!

Happy New Year and happy new thread! That will be an interesting topic.

Happy New Year, Diana!

Happy new year everyone!

Here’s to another great year of reading! Making note of Frontera…

>1 libraryperilous: I think your idea of quarterly dives into a set topic is interesting and I'll be following your progress. Stained glass is an interesting medium on a number of levels (preservation, story-telling, etc.)

Hi Diana! I really like your plans for 2025 - agree with you about reading more and keeping stress levels down. We can't control outside events, but we can always try to control our reactions and our own actions.

Stained glass is so beautiful - great topic to take a deep dive in. Thank you for the recommendation on Frontera! Happy New Year and happy deep diving. :)

Happy New Year and happy new thread! I hope you have a great year in books and in life. Looking forward to your explorations into stained glass!
