My Best and Worst Books of 2025 So Far 📚 Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag

There's a really good one with copper corpse and Iron Corpse and the fights are fantastic in this too. I thought the fights would put me off, but they are so well described. They are so exciting.

It was definitely unsettling. And there was a lot of description that really made me feel like I was part of the scene and it made me believe that maybe Kylie Lee Baker was a crime scene investigator because the way she described it was just a little bit too good, you know?

This was definitely my first five star. Really, really loved it and so thankful to it as well for allowing me to end that vlog when I did.

I really did love the first book, Bunny, and I will give it a reread before I continue on.

Oh, it just, it fills me with joy. It really does. It fills me with joy.

Catch and Fire is my favorite one of the series. And that one is like the only five star in the series for me.

I freaking love the Dungeon Color series so much and book two wasn't as good as book one in my opinion

Just a lovely surprise and definitely one of the best ones I've read so far.

Like I thought it was pretty hot and I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I actually ended up enjoying it. It was just a fricking good time.

This one was another five star that I gave Stephen King years and years and years ago when I first read this. And again, on a reread, I was just so relieved that it was still a five star

Still holds up to this day. So engrossing, so good.

I was just mostly bored by it. And I didn't really feel a connection with the like love interest either. And that again felt like a story that was just a little bit messy.

And it's so good. It's so emotional, so dark, and definitely one of my favorite reading experiences of this year, even though it was a reread.

I really enjoyed Quicksilver and I think I will continue that series and enjoy it.

I just feel like there was like some missed opportunities, some fan service, and it just didn't feel like a five star to me unfortunately, but it was still a good story and I'm still glad I read it.

I read the second book in Crimes of Naxia and I didn't love it as much and that's kind of soured it a little bit for me.

Still holds up to this day. So engrossing, so good.

I just thought there was way too much humor and not enough of cuz it tried to be serious. It tried to have that darker element to it. And I just didn't think it blended well because the humor was just too overpowering and just like ruined any kind of suspense and tension that I was feeling.

And honestly, it was the best. It was honestly the best time going through it and just rekindling my love for it because it was such a huge part of my life when I was a teenager.

And this was one that I gave five stars. It's going to be my best books of the year. Absolutely.

I was so surprised by like how much I ended up loving that one that I gave it five stars.

Episode 5 took everything out of me cuz I read it for the first time and the Tommy Knockers, which almost made my worst books of the year, which it might make my worst books of the year, but I didn't want to talk about in this video, honestly.

There were some lovely passages. And I'm not going to say that Angela Carter is not a good writer because I do think that this was written well. I just hated it.

This book to me felt like a mess. It was majorly boring and it had a wrap-up that was a little bit too easy in my opinion.

But this one I actually really enjoyed. It had a really gripping story that kind of took different turns that I wasn't expecting.

And oh god, I just I love everything about it. Love the characters so much.
