Visualizing Books of the Year

My books of 2025 list is complete. In lieu of reviews, here’s an interactive chart to visualize the breakdown. The basic display is a countable bar chart of books by four broad categories. You can split the chart into two or four small multiples by source and/or format. It’s mainly an exercise in creating dynamic charts. Check out the Observable notebook directly for the code and any future updates.
