<p>Ello sweet and lovely (reading) Friendos <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/beige.party/blobcatbook.png" class="emoji" alt=":blobcatbook:" title=":blobcatbook:"></p><p>The last two months, I've been caught up reading again! At times where my body needed to relax, recharge, but my brain was still looking to be entertained... I got back to reading more again. 😊</p><p>Halfway through November, I learned about the new Dan Brown book in his Robert Langdon series. It had been a while since I read his books, so I set off, starting with Angels & Demons.<br>At the end of December, I finished the 6th book, the Secret of Secrets. I read another Dan Brown book after that, Deception Point.</p><p>I finished it yesterday. But now... As I started it at the end of December, is this my last finished book of 2025? Or is it the first one of 2026?</p><p>I've never really tracked my reading, but I thought it may be nice to make a thread this year, pinning 📌 it to my profile, and adding the books that I've managed to finish in 2026.</p><p>Maybe Deception Point was the last of 2025, maybe it's the first of 2026...
