Best Reads of 2025
Traditionally, the end of the year is a time for putting together the ‘best of …’ lists. With QRC, it is listing the best reads of 2025. This is a very personal list – just the books that I read during the year and some I have reviewed here but others not. The books are listed in no particular order – it is simply too hard to choose one book above another.

- The Passenger Seat by Vijay Khurana
- Air by John Boyne
