items Here's a list of the best books I read in 2025!
This is just so fun. SO juicy. I compare it to reading the best season of Love Island but with figure skaters!
The Favorites: A Novel|Paperback
Hands down the best fantasy trilogy I have read as an adult. Highly recommend.
Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Series #1)|Paperback
My love for Charlotte McConaghy knows no end. I fell in love with her 2 other books last year and when this one came out I jumped full force into it. It was stunning. Heartbreaking! Yet so endearing. LOVE.
Wild Dark Shore (Reese's Book Club Pick)|Hardcover
My favorite book I read this year. Also, one of my favorite books I have EVER read. I'm still reeling from it. The writing is glorious and emotional. The characters…Ugh! So good. Just a brilliant book.
Hamnet|Paperback

The Nickel Boys (Pulitzer Prize Winner)|Paperback
The second book I read this year inspired by the Dozier academy. This was masterfully done. Full of so much darkness but also so much heart.
The Reformatory: A Novel|Paperback
What a memorable journey Demon took me on. Full of travesties but he never loses his witty sense of humor.
Demon Copperhead (Pulitzer Prize Winner)|Paperback
The third book in the quartet and my oh my. What a wonderful series this is. It's funny, when I am reading these books I'm never thinking, of my gosh this is the best book ever, it's always after I finish the books that I am suddenly hit with the pro...
Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (Neapolitan Novels Series #3)|Paperback
Not your typical girl gone missing story. It's full of flawed characters that still capture your heart. It's dark, haunting, atmospheric, and Irish! My favorite qualities.
Kala: A Novel|Paperback
Trad wife steamy ghost story wrapped up in the perfect pie. The vibes were everything. I ate this up!
House of Beth by Kerry Cullen
Such a heart warming read. Classic Fredrik Backman. Full of all the quirks and heartwarming moments.
My Friends by Fredrik Backman
