Omg I'm so stoked to see those science fiction titles making it onto the list πŸš€! Adam Roberts is like a genius or something, always predicting the future and stuff. The idea of memory-eating aliens and space-traveling telepaths has me like totally intrigued πŸ’»πŸ‘½. And can we talk about how cool it is that there are books on LGBTQ+ activism in sci-fi? It's like, finally some representation and diversity in a genre that's often been super white and cis 🌈πŸ’ͺ. I'm def adding these to my wishlist ASAP πŸ’ΈπŸ“š

The idea of space-traveling telepaths and feminist trailblazers on a mission to save the world is literally giving me LIFE πŸ’–. And don't even get me started on the sports books πŸˆπŸš΄β€β™€οΈ - Olympic cyclists, match fixers, and athletes who overcome trauma? That's real inspiration! πŸ’ͺ Can't wait to dive into these must-reads and add them to my reading list #BestBooksOf2025 #ScienceFictionLover #SportsBooksMatter
 
another year another bunch of self-indulgent books making the cut... like who even reads fiction these days? i mean, cyberpunk cyborgs and memory-eating aliens? sounds like a bunch of nerdy sci-fi nonsense to me πŸ€–πŸ˜΄. and don't even get me started on the romance section - wedding day drama? office rivals? sounds like a soap opera πŸ“Ί. at least the music section is somewhat relevant, but an enraging indictment of Spotify? really? that's just clickbait πŸ˜’. i swear, these book lists are just a way for publishers to clear out old inventory and make room for new titles... guess we'll all be stuck with another bunch of overpriced paperweights πŸ“šπŸ˜’
 
omg u guys i just saw the guardian's list of best books for 2025 & im SO here for the sci-fi picks πŸš€πŸ‘½ adam roberts seems to have a knack for finding the coolest futuristic stories out there, from cyberpunk cyborgs to space-traveling telepaths πŸ€–πŸš€

and idk about sports books but i think its awesome that jonathan liew is diving into the world of match fixers & Olympic cyclists - it sounds like some juicy stuff πŸ˜‚πŸ’¨ cant wait to check out the brexit romance novel tho... age gaps are always drama πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ“š
 
thinkin' about these "best books" lists... it just makes me wonder, what is this "best" really? is it subjective or can we even say its objective at all? like, how do we define a good book anyway? does it have to be a page-turner or can it just be a thought-provoking one? and what about the categories... sports, romance, science fiction... isn't everything just connected in some way? i mean, athletes are human beings too with their own stories and struggles πŸ€”
 
OMG, I'm so excited to see some awesome titles in the Science Fiction category πŸš€πŸ“–! Adam Roberts is a genius for curating such diverse and intriguing picks - from memory-eating aliens 😱 to space-traveling telepaths 🀯. And Jonathan Liew's sports section has me totally pumped up, especially with that book about Bradley Wiggins' Olympic journey πŸ’ͺ.

But what I really love about this list is how the categories are all so... balanced? There's something for everyone here! And can we talk about how rad it is that Jenny Colgan's romance picks cover some really tricky and realistic age gaps πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. It's just so refreshing to see books tackling these topics with care.

Anyway, I'm totally downloading the Guardian's best books of 2025 list ASAP πŸ“šπŸ’»!

😊 I'm loving these "Best Books" lists that start popping up around this time every year! You know, I always get excited about discovering new authors and genres. But what really caught my attention is the science fiction section. Like, who wouldn't want to read about memory-eating aliens and space-traveling telepaths? πŸš€ It's like the future is calling our names!

And can we talk about how awesome it is that there are books on sports and athletes too? I mean, we all love a good underdog story or an inspiring true tale of perseverance. And romance... well, who doesn't love a good love story? πŸ“šπŸ’•
 
omg I'm still trying to figure out what's good to read in this year 🀯 so i'm loving that the Guardian is sharing their fave books already! I've been meaning to check out some new sci-fi authors, but I have no idea where to start πŸš€. That list of space-traveling telepaths sounds like some wild stuff... and I need to read more about those Olympic cyclists, too - my dad's always talking about the Olympics, so it'd be cool to get a different perspective πŸ…. Has anyone read any good romances lately? I've been stuck in a weird place with my love life and maybe some sappy books will help πŸ˜‚.
 
Ugh, can you believe it? Another year, another list of books that I'm pretty sure I've read already... like who else is gonna have time to catch up on all these releases? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ And don't even get me started on the romance section - "tricky age gaps" and "wedding day drama"? Sounds like a recipe for some serious cringeworthy stuff to me... 😳
 
πŸ€” just read the guardian's best books of 2025 list and i think its gonna be a wild ride! sci-fi fans will love adam roberts' picks on icy intrigue and cyberpunk cyborgs πŸ€–. sports fans will enjoy jonathan liew's books on olympic cyclists and match fixers - gotta say, the trauma and triumphs of bradley wiggin's story looks really compelling πŸ†. romance readers are in for a treat with jenny colgan's books on tricky age gaps and wedding day drama 😬. cant wait to dive into these recommendations! πŸ‘
 
Ugh, I'm so over these "Best Books" lists 🀯. Can't they just let us discover new titles on our own? This list feels like a chore to scroll through, all categorized and perfect... it's just too curated for my taste πŸ˜’.

And what's up with the sports section? Olympic cyclists and match fixers? Who gets chosen to write about athletes' lives? It's not like they're going to spill all the tea 🀫. And don't even get me started on the music category... an indictment of Spotify? How original πŸ™„.

I swear, every year it's the same thing - these lists feel more like a marketing ploy than actual book recommendations πŸ“š. Where are the hidden gems? The unexpected reads? Can't we just rely on our own discovery skills instead of following some carefully curated list? πŸ˜’
 
Ugh, another year, another bunch of overhyped books πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, what's wrong with people? Can't they just stick to re-reading the same classics over and over like a good book should be read, not some new releases that'll probably get lost in a pile of dust by next year's 'best of' list 😴.

And don't even get me started on the categories. Science fiction with "icy intrigue" this and cyberpunkish cyborgs that... sounds like just another way to describe dystopian nonsense 🚫. And sports books? How original. How about some actual substance, you know, like a good biography or something? Not just a bunch of bland athlete stories 🏈.

I swear, I'll never understand why people make such a big deal out of these "best of" lists. It's all just marketing hype if you ask me πŸ’Έ. Can't we just focus on reading for the love of it instead of chasing some arbitrary title?
