The queen is back!! I love this article and I'm happy you've found your writing comfort zone (when it comes to releasing work). Can you believe I was going to read Moshi Moshi in December but didn't have enough time?

AAAA thank you so so much ziane!! it's good to be back, especially since you've supported me a lot ☺️☺️ maybe i was too harsh because moshi moshi isn't too bad but i did find parts of it disappointing 😭😭 i'd encourage you to check it out and see if you like it if you have the time!!

Thanks for writing this. I have read only two books from this list: The Remains of the Day and Brave New World. But I am surprised by the overlap I see in terms of genres and authors. I read a Han Kang novel in 2025 too.

Remains was my second Ishiguro. Klara and the Sun did not fully work for me. But Remains is one of my favorites. I definitely want to read more from him. I wrote about the book here https://www.thefreudiancouch.com/2025/04/remains-of-day-kazuo-ishiguro.html.

And I had written about my books from 2025 here https://www.thefreudiancouch.com/2025/12/2025-in-books.html. You might notice the overlap too.
