Just a quick entry here to note that over the Christmas and New Year holiday I have managed to complete the time-consuming and many would say pointless exercise of adding cover images to all the books listed in by book log. This means that for each book I read from January 2006 onwards (at least, the ones I remembered to record) there is an image of the book's cover as well as a record of what I thought. This is almost always the specific edition I read but it hasn't been possible to achieve that for all of the books listed, especially the older ones. With that done, it's easy to maintain. It was going back looking for cover art from previous years that took the time.

Best book I read in 2025? Abigail Dean's The Death of Us.
