favorite books of 2025

I loved this because it is that perfect mix of having a very cute romance, something that I would reread. ... and I just found this very lovely.

I love them. These are YA, but I would say they're definitely upper YA in my opinion and one of the few books I've read in recent years that properly has Yearning. Bring back Yearning.

I've tabbed this up so much. I will reread this multiple times over my life because I think it has so much good just like teachings and things. ... So, I loved this.

This has a very unique world that I've never really seen anything like before. ... I love this and I can't wait for more books in this world to come out.

I loved this because this is continuing to have what the first book had, which is like this like dark corrupted forest magic... I like the magic system and the world building in this series.

I reread it for this to finish out the series. This is a five out of five star series to me.

I love them. These are YA, but I would say they're definitely upper YA in my opinion and one of the few books I've read in recent years that properly has Yearning. Bring back Yearning.

This conclusion is fantastic. It has payoff. The character arcs are brilliant. The world building is great.

Nettle and Bone is one of my favorite books of all time.

This is a little novella that is following a character who has to pump for her aranged aunt... So if you like little books about generational trauma, have at this one.

What I did really enjoy about this is that there's some like toxic relationship dynamics happening in this that are like addressed and realistic. ... And yeah, I really liked it.

So yeah, this was delightful. I find her character so real and people who feel like they could just step off the page.

This was so unexpected as well. It was just such a sweet story. ... I loved the characters. I loved the banter.

This is the second book in the Godkiller series. And this is just a perfect like ownw world fantasy mythology... I think the characters are really fantastic as well.

This is such a sweet, cozy little fantasy found family kind of story... it was just sweet, beautiful.

I would reread both of her like contemporary fantasy romances. I've loved both of them.

This was so surprising to me. This was not like anything that I tend to read. ... it's wonderful actually. It's so good.

There's a situation that's happening in the final book that I can't talk about, but I actually really love too with the couple in that one.
