[new blog post] Favorite Books of 2025 - The year started out with the second phase of my breast cancer treatments: radiation therapy. Each day in January, I took the train to and from Harvard Square, then walked in the bitter cold to and from Mt. Auburn Hospital. Sitting on a comfy travel cushion (those Red Line seats are hard!), I settled in with a book during the train rides. All together, I was gifted 1.5 hours of reading pleasure. It set the tone for the rest of the year, as I dove into 41 books!
