I'm getting a head start on my 2025 challenges by starting these (and I know I won't finish them until the new year):
- Private Rites by Julia Armfield - I introduced my wife to Armfield this year with Our Wives Under the Sea and she immediately purchased Private Rites as soon as she finished it. She is now waiting for me to read it so she can discuss it with me.
- Orbital by Samantha Harvey - this was on my eTBR list, but I was gifted a physical copy by a well-meaning in-law yesterday, so I'll read that version instead.
- Selected Letters by Virginia Woolf (2008 edition collected by J. Trautman Banks) - I know there are more complete editions, and I have feelings about editors who "condense" letters, but this seemed like a manageable place to start with Woolf's letters.
