Most Anticipated Book Releases of the Year! (2025 TBR)

And with Bride that came out last year, it was a scientific rendition of vampires and werewolves, so naturally I ate it up.

I was not a big Emily Henry fan until Funny Story, but now an Emily Henry we stand, an Emily Henry we trust, so whatever she writes moving forward, I'm going to read.

Every book that I've read from this woman has always been four stars or higher, except for that one weird time where we read Life Is Too Short, and it was like a three-star, but we don't talk about her. This was just like a blip in her past.

Now, with that book, it kind of fell short for me. It was not the five-star that I thought it was going to be. It was actually only three stars, which isn't bad.

I read that book when we initially started getting back into reading, and I absolutely loved it.

That is a book that we read last year, and it could not have been more perfect. It was so good, and I listened to the audiobook, and the audiobook just did it for me because hear this out, hear me out.

Or, in the meantime, I can read Beg, Borrow, or Steal, and this is by Sarah Adams, which is the same author who wrote When in Rome, which I read last year and immediately rated five stars. This was a slow burn with absolutely no spice, and yet I ate it up.
