Things That Made Me Happy in 2025
2025-12-31
At the end of each year, I plan to compile a list of my favourite things, i.e. books, films, shows, and games. This is inspired by Barack Obama's famous lists and by the delightful What's Making Us Happy segment of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast.
Here is this year's list...

- Babel by R.F. Kuang
- Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
- Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
- Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

- My Old Ass (2024)
