Out of 125 books these are the top 12

Let’s talk about books aka one of my favorite things!!! 2025 was an odd year in reading. It was the lowest amount of books since I started recording the books I read. The mix of books I read was also significantly different than previous years. This was a year of less deep theology and more cookbooks and practical non fiction (ie gardening, homesteading etc)
If your in a hurry (totally get it) here are the books:
Fiction
Ruthless Vows Rebecca Rose (Divine Rivals first book)
A Language of Dragons: S F Williamson
The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England: Brandon Sanderson

Non Fiction
Omnivores Dilemma: Michael Pollan
Ordinary Time: Annie B Jonnes
Hannah’s Children: Catherine Ruth Pakaluk

Homesteading/Cookbooks
The Perfect Loaf: Mauriziio Leo
The Cut Flower Handbook: Lisa Mason Zigler
Daily Sourdough: Lisa Bass

Religious
Hard is not the same thing as bad: Abbie Halberstadt
Well Lived Sally Clarkson
Reclaiming: Sarah Clarkson

Honorable Mention:
Frugalwoods: Elizabeth Willard Thames
Flour Lab: Adam Leonti
A Bakers Year: Tara Jensen
Again if any of these books interest you look at the library first! And then if you're looking to purchase books please look used first! I use Thriftbooks and Abebooks on a regular basis and I can’t recommend them enough!
