Books to Read Q1 2025

This list is made up of books I want to read in the first months of 2025. I'm looking for books that are engaging, well written, and give me something to think about, whether that's through strong storytelling, interesting perspectives, or sharp ideas. Q1 is usually a slower, more reflective period for me, so these books fit that pace: good for focused reading, learning something new, or getting absorbed without feeling overwhelmed. Some are meant to challenge how I think, others are just solid reads I've been meaning to get to for a while.
