These are the books I rated 5 stars on Storygraph in 2025:
Dark Matter by Michelle Paver
The Solitude of Thomas Cave by Georgina Harding
An Echo In The Bone by Diana Gabaldon
Written In My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon
Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon
The Body: A Guide For Occupants by Bill Bryson
The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
The Terror by Dan Simmons
The Fisherman by John Langan
Do I still agree with all of these? I would say yes to the Outlander books, just because the whole series has been so enjoyable, and I can't fault Diana Gabaldon's writing. The Body is the only non-fiction, but I found it so interesting and it was written with Bryson's usual humour and accessibility. Dark Matter will always be a 5 star read, obviously! I'm not sure if I like The Solitude Of Thomas Cave, and The Haunting Of Hill House as much as I think I do, or as much as I think I should, but they are stories that have lingered with me afterwards, when so many don't. The Fisherman was weird, and there were aspects of it that I struggled with, if I'm being really honest, but I also loved it, and I loved the writing style. It certainly didn't disappoint. And what can I say about The Terror? Just phenomenal!
