Ten for the Year 2025

Dear Reader,

Alhamdulillah. Reading is a pathway by which we can reclaim attention in an otherwise distracted and distracting world. The attention reclaimed can be directed to prioritise what matters. And in that spirit, to prioritise books that matter to us. As December comes to a close, we cap another year of reading and another year of providing good books to our reading community with a roundup of ten of the best of 2025.
