A Century of Books: 1925 to 2025

January 2024 – December 2025

A reading project, hosted by Simon at Stuck in a Book, with the aim of reading and reviewing a book published in every year of the last century, from 1925 to 2025. (I started this project in January of 2024, but was unable to carry on for much of the year, so I’m stretching this project out into a two-year time frame, and have added a plus-one publishing year.)
