EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. I Read In 2025 *TIER RANKED*

This is an A tier book. Hands down. Coming of age horror, you just can't get better than this book.

I'm not going to lie, I probably could have gotten a little bit more out of watching a documentary than reading a novel about her.

Back of Bones was a book that I really struggled with for a very long time, but after I finished it, after I gave it that last attempt and really pushed through the entire novel, I'm walking away putting it in a tier. It is that good.

One of the most beautiful things I think I've ever read. This is S tier. It transcends rating.

The first half was amazing. The second half really kind of deflated. So this is C tier all day long.

These all go in B tier. It was nice actually reading the original trilogy for the first time. Dystopian fiction is always such a fun time and I see why this series is so beloved.

This is a trash heap. There's something that happens in the middle of this book that disgusted me to no end.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was gripped to that story from beginning to end. Stephen King subverted all of my expectations like he usually does.

This book was atrocious. I put in a D tier. Just not what I was expecting.

I do put it at Ctier though because there's really not that much to be interested in with a story about a St. Bernard with rabies. But it's still a fun book.

This book was fantastic. Again, the stakes get raised, the cosmic feeling to the story gets raised, the characters get better, the pros gets better, the story gets elevated, everything becomes more dangerous, more intriguing, more interesting, more brutal.

Just a wonderful collection of different stories where you really see Stephen King tackle different genres. We're all used to thinking of him as the king of horror, which he is, but they all just blend so well together and it's a superb introduction to Stephen King.

This is the height of Btier for me. This is the beginning of something so freaking amazing.

This book is one of the most haunting novels I've ever read. It really disturbed me in many ways.

I was so disappointed. I love Emily Henry. She's one of my favorite contemporary romance authors.

This book is filled with what Frank does best. This is the latter half of the saga where things get a little weird. So, I'm not gonna lie.

Beautiful historical fiction. The best love story I've ever read. S tier all day long.

It scared the crap out of me. Loved every minute of that book. It is a tier all day long.

I found myself really liking the first half and then the second half really just kind of dragged along for me and I know that's on purpose and I know that's the whole point. It's not that I wasn't entertained because that's not the whole point.

I put it in B tier because I really did enjoy my time. I found myself when I was sitting down to read it, I read 50 to 100 pages. It's a fun FANTASY BOOK.

I do put this in C tier cuz yeah, his crime fiction stuff is fun, but it's not like it's not my favorite.

Found myself hating his character so much. yet I just kept getting sucked into the story and the lore and the history and the world. Just really, really, really good fantasy because I enjoyed it so much.

Mad ship was so freaking fun. You pick up right where you leave off in Ship of Magic and the character arcs just get better.

These all go in B tier. It was nice actually reading the original trilogy for the first time. Dystopian fiction is always such a fun time and I see why this series is so beloved.

But what a wonderful look into the deterioration of a marriage. I do put it in a tier. It is it is a phenomenal story if you have the patience for it.

I was really hoping she would try everything in her power to do the right thing and she ends up doing all of the wrong things and she just frustrated me to no end. So, for that reason, Atlanders in C tier.

And Pines was a delight. What a great first book. A Pines is almost at the top of B tier.

These two books together go in the C tier.

Honestly, this is one of the most uniquely crafted fantasy worlds I've ever read. Dude, ships that can become sensient.

This transcends rating. Just it's it's a perfect novel. One of my favorite books of all time.

I still don't really know what I think of the plot and the story, but all I know is that I walked away wanting more from this author. So, it goes in B tier.

Something Wicked This Way Comes is probably the greatest coming of age story ever written. truly compelling novel about two boys and their friendship through the midst of their growing up.

It is a really gripping, suspenseful horror about a witch hunt. The ending was a little bit lackluster for me. I was wanting [clears throat] certain things, but I wasn't given those things.

Suzanne Collins puts this man through so much turmoil, yet it just makes so many things from the trilogy make perfect sense. So, for that reason, it's a Btier book. Loved it, enjoyed it very much.

Terms of Endearment was one of my favorite books of 2025. So, it goes in A tier. Just absolutely spectacular.

I found the phil philosophical parts of the book really fun. To be honest, I didn't really care too much about the main character because he is a piece of crap. For that reason, I put it in C tier.

Loved this book. Was very, very shocked at how much better I think it is than the movie trilogy.

These all go in B tier. It was nice actually reading the original trilogy for the first time. Dystopian fiction is always such a fun time and I see why this series is so beloved.

It was a fine book, but I know he has better. I'd like to get to more Lem novels eventually in my lifetime, but The Invincible was a great start.

What an incredible sequel to an already incredible first novel.

It is trippy beyond belief. The story of The King in Yellow is only four short stories, all interconnected by this play of the same title, The King in Yellow. And if you read this play, you go insane.

His characters are so witty. The dialogue is amazing. The writing is clever and witty and beautiful all at the same time.

Guys, I'm telling you, this is amazing. You go from Sweden to Jerusalem. So well written.

It's like the perfect blending of science fiction and fantasy. I don't know how Gene Wolf seamlessly blends those two, but he did.

I think I was expecting something bigger and better, and I kind of walked away going, "Okay, cool. I've read it. I can say that I've read The Silent Patient.

Guys, this is peak historical fiction book was amazing. What an incredible sequel to an already incredible first novel.

This is a tremendous standalone fantasy. It just really scratched that fantasy itch that I was looking for because it's so unique.

I'm not going to lie, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Then the ending happened and I was like, dang.

And my gosh, it's some of the most beautiful pros. It's one of the most beautiful stories. It's tragic.

I honestly put it in C tier because I walked away going, "Dang, Stephen, I didn't know you could write something like that." It was all over the place.

It's not supernatural, more psychological and suspenseful horror. It is truly a compelling novel. I give it an A tier.

I love this book so much. I'm not going to say much about it, but for those who are interested, it is a tier peak literary horror.

This book was chaotic. All Parker novels are. It made me think, man, do I really want to like read all of these books?

I think I enjoyed this better than The Strangled Queen and The Iron King put together. I think I read it in like two days. B tier.

These two books together go in the C tier.
