The Last 10 Books (I added to my Wish List) - December 2025.
Inspired by a recent post over @ Reading Freely I thought that I’d let you know what I’ve been adding recently to my Wish List. Back in the day I used to keep it down to 300 items which, to be honest, was above 99% books. These days I have zero idea just how many are on there. I tend to add things after watching a YouTube video, TV show, movie or from something I’ve read or ‘found’ on various websites of Blogs. So, I tend to add things in clumps... Here’s my last 10 – most recent addition first:
1929: The Inside Story of The Greatest Crash in Wall Street History by Andrew Ross Sorkin
Moral Ambition: How to Find Your Purpose by Rutger Bregman
Battle of the Four Courts: The First Three Days of the Irish Civil War by Michael Fewer
Shifting Sands: A Human History of the Sahara by Judith Scheele
The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation by Victor D Hanson
Violent Saviours: The West, the Rest, and Capitalism Without Consent by William Easterly
Empire of Ink: The Printers, Rogues, and Radicals Who Invented the American Newspaper by Alex Wright
American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon by Steven Rinella
Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History by Dan Flores
Erasure by Percival Everett
As you can see, my ‘butterfly mind’ is on FULL display here. You can also see one of my very rare fiction additions with the last book on the list. I saw a movie clip and checked to see if it had been adapted from a book – and it had! As to when I’ll get around to buying, never mind reading, this list is ANYONE’S guess.

I think Empire of Ink and Coyote America are both on my "soft" -- i.e. unwritten -- interest list. As an RDR2 fan the presence of the Coyote and Buffalo books intriuges me. The other day some teenager came in wanting photos and information for an herbivore, a carnivore, etc, but couldn't be arsed to even tell me what animals they wanted. They got critters from RDR2, including elk and grizzlies. XD
I *think* the Ink, Coyote & Buffalo books were linked in the 'also bought' bit. One of them (can't remember which) was recommended from a YouTube clip.
That's a good, varied list! Shifting Sands and Empire of Ink both sound appealing. I'm hoping to read more non-fiction in 2026!
You should see the *entire* list! Its ALL over the place.... [lol] I'm not expecting to buy any books until the New Year now but I know that I'll have plenty to choose from when I do.
Did you see my review of 'Lessons in Chemistry'? I'm impressed by how many great novels I'm reading this winter. I'm just about to finish another one!!
