That means a lot of books! A few great games, and some TV that rose about the popcorn level. TITAA Recs #74: Best of 2025 Best reads, games, and tv from 2025, including December! Fairies & space battles. Lynn Cherny Dec 30 ∙ Preview   READ IN APP   Errol Le Cain’s fairy procession, for Thorn Rose Time for the annual round up of the best of the year. Also, I read 10 new books this month (travels!), so they are included in here. Thanks to the subscribers who enable this — because of you folks who help financially, I can call these business expenses which helps my (very high, self-employed) taxes a little bit. TOC: Books (SF: 21, Fantasy/Horror: 33, Mystery/Thriller: 15) Games TV Also included, as I said: 10 new books for December, plus one of my fav games of the year. I won’t be doing an end-of-month news newsletter, since I was on the road and have a big todo list this week, including more accounting.
