For the last few years, we have been doing a New-Year-ish thing in our last post of the year and talking about all the books we have read through that year. (You can find our recap of 2022 here; here is our recap of 2023, and here is the recap for 2024.) This year, we continue this tradition and take a look at our reviews for 2025.
[2025 saw the bunnies read and review many books, both new and classic. You can find a full list here.]
Sprinkles: This year was a long and interesting one! We read a lot of new books and a lot of old books, too. And all the way at the end of the year, Midnight, the fourth member of our family joined us! So we thought, we can do something slightly different this time. Maybe everyone can tell us their favorites?
Midnight: Mine is the easiest then. I only reviewed one book: Foundation by Asimov. So it is my favorite book of the year. Also it is my least favorite.
Sprinkles: I see what you did there Midnight. That is funny.
Caramel: I want to say what mine was next!
Sprinkles: Sure, Caramel. I know you have been going over your reviews for the year. So which was your favorite?
Caramel: Escaping Peril, the graphic novel version. I also really liked rereading my review because soon, very soon, I will have the ninth book to read!
Sprinkles: Yes, I know! It is going to be published in early January 2026, so you can review it when we get back from our break.
Caramel: Will do.
Sprinkles: So Marshmallow, what was your favorite book this year?
Marshmallow: I liked several of them a lot.
Sprinkles: I know, it is sometimes really hard to choose. But if you had to…
Marshmallow: I really liked The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger. I thought it was really well written and very inspiring.
Sprinkles: That was a really good book!
Marshmallow: Yes. But I also really liked a lot of the other books I reviewed this year. So it is quite hard to choose. How about you?
Sprinkles: Hmm, I reviewed a lot of poetry books this year. And also Flatland: A Journey of Many Dimensions, which is a mathematical classic. So of course I liked that one a lot. But among the poetry books, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne are probably my favorites. They are really cute, and they remind me a lot of both of you when you were even younger bunnies.
Marshmallow: Of course, because we were also so so cute!
Sprinkles: Exactly.
Caramel: We are still cute, though?
Sprinkles: Of course.
Midnight: I myself don’t care to be cute.
Sprinkles: You jut can’t help it though!
Midnight: Hmm. I prefer to be mysterious and vaguely threatening.
Marshmallow: Okay Midnight. As you wish.
Sprinkles: Typically in these recaps, we used to talk about quite a lot more books, but this year, we wanted to try something different and just talk about our favorites.
Caramel: It is a lot easier honestly.
Sprinkles: Well, for some of us, it is not so easy to choose our favorites. For example, that new book you two could not stop reading last week. Maybe it will be your favorite next year?
Marshmallow: It might be, if I review it.
Caramel: Hmm, I could review it too, but if she insists, I guess Marshmallow could review it. Then I will have my Wings of Fire books to review anyways.
Sprinkles: True, besides the ninth graphic novel of the original Wings of Fire series, the sixteenth book is coming out in 2026 as well.
Caramel: I can’t wait!
Sprinkles: Maybe Midnight will review more books for us, too, in 2026.
Midnight: That remains to be seen. A mysterious rabbit does not reveal their intentions so easily.
Caramel: Hmm, okay Midnight. But in any case, we have the month of January off!
Marshmallow: And we will be back here in February! So I want to say: Happy new year everyone! We wish you a happy hoppy new year in 2026!
Sprinkles: With lots of good books and many friends, old and new!
Caramel: Yes! And stay tuned for more book bunny reviews, coming to you in February 2026!
