Now here we have the Pits category for the true intellectuals of The Avocado. If you’ve been reading books in 2025, please comment with your picks for Best Fiction Book of 2025 and Best Non-Fiction Book of 20245

Comments supporting anything you’ve read and enjoyed this year are welcomed! To vote all you have to do is list your picks for the separate categories. You can either submit an unranked list or a ranked list of your Top 10. (Of course, ballots with less than 10 are fine, just list as many as you’ve read.) Ranked lists get awarded scaled points: 10 points for #1, 9 points for #2, 8 points for #3, and so on. Unranked lists get 5 points each. These points determine our winners for both categories. Voting is open until noon EST on December 28th, 2025.

Any book published in 2025 is eligible. Grey areas like books of poetry can be listed in whichever category you think is most suitable. Graphic Novels are allowed, though I also invite you to submit those in the Pits’ Comics category. Preferably write the full title and author for any book you list.
