It's the time for end of year lists. Do we have favourite things we've read (or listened to) over the past year? Of course we do.
It doesn't need to have been published in 2025, but you could list anything you really loved and would recommend below.
For me, I think my favourite novel was Gliff by Ali Smith (first published 2024), and I'm excited that there's a follow up due in early 2026 (confusingly called Glyph).
Special mention also to Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (2006), a graphic novel I wouldn't have known about without a recommendation from @Rachael Burnett - Thanks - I absolutely loved it.
As for non-fiction, First You Write A Sentence by Joe Moran (2018) was something of a game changer for me and undoubtedly informed my successes in the OPS competition.
