All the books i’ve read in 2025. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Mostly good though. Beware: I was an emotional wreck during most of these books.

romance and fantasy mixed. I never thought I’d be as interested in a fantasy book as I was with this one. Definitely one of the best books I’ve read

very cute romance. perfect for any Disney adult who loves to read! I am not a big fan of Disney, but still loved this book and the story. I have started the second book and it seems like you don’t have to read them in order to understand each individ...

this was my first Freida McFadden book and it did not disappoint! it follows a similar premise that most of the books I’ve read from her has. it has a bunch of turns and twists. this book got me to enjoy mystery books

I love this series and haven’t been able to put it down. the ending of this novel was a little upsetting for me personally, but i am still so obsessed with her writing of this story and I cannot wait to see what the next one entails.

Perfect holiday read. the spice builds as the book goes on, which is something I very much appreciate from romance books. edit once finished: this book kept me smiling the whole time, it was so cute and a good “Hallmark” Christmas feel
