Reflections and notes:

Graphic novels made a comeback.

2nd year in a row reading the Hobbit and The Wind in the Willows.

Reading more Shakespeare was a kept 2025 New Year resolution.

John Adams is still waayyy underrated.

Christopher Chant had too many cats, but the cricket passages were brilliant.

Reading groups helped.
