Hi friends! Curious to find out what I've been reading this month? Well, check out my December 2025 Book Reviews.
I read 54 books this year (that's a lot for someone who usually only reads 10 - 20, but I do read a lot of articles and whatnot too). Having a Kindle has really made it so much easier and faster, and probably what I spend most of my money on. This book review is much shorter than my other ones, and that's because there has just been so much going on in December (life updates will be out later today).

December 2025 Book Reviews
Shower Thoughts, Inspired by Reddit: This was one of the fastest books I've ever read. It was super short, and another one of those books I chose to read before I went to sleep, kinda as a way wind down. In hindsight, I probably could have just read the subreddit ShowerThoughts. I rate this a 6/10.
The World's Dumbest Questions - Sidney S. Prasad: I didn't think this book was very funny, and I was really hoping for way more humour in it. It was just filled with dumb stuff, but I guess that's what the title says, so you get what you are told you are getting. Some of it just felt mean, too. I rate this a 5.5/10.
It's The Law - BH & VHM McKechnie: This was a fun read to learn about laws all over the world, but I found it to be a little bit TOO serious in parts - I just wanted more comedic value overall. I think this book would be a lovely gift for someone to use as a coffee table book. I also would have loved to see more stuff from Australia and New Zealand. I rate this a 6/10.
The Let Them Theory - Mel Robbins & Sawyer Robbins: This is a book I've always wanted to read, and I actually lent it to my psychologist, so I'm looking forward to our debrief of the book next session. Anyway, I don't think this was the right time in my life to read this book - I think I needed it about 5-6 years ago, when I was dealing with a lot of narcissists around me. I liked the first half of the book; I agreed with most of that, but the second half rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not entirely sure why. Some of the other reviews of this book suggest it's lacking authenticity and feels like a bit of a cash grab based on a woman's woe-is-me story. I like the sentiment, but I don't know if I agree with everything Mel Robbins is saying. If I remember, when I see my psychologist next, I'll try to add in what he thinks.
The book I just started reading is Without Fail - Lee Child (the 6th Reacher book). It hasn't grabbed me as much as the other books, but I'm hoping once I'm into it a bit more. I haven't set a goal for how many books to read in 2026 yet, but hopefully I can get myself organised very soon.
What's on your TBR list for 2026?
Thanks for reading!
