I had a really great year of reading— I’m almost to my goal of 120 books which I will say has been hard to maintain because I’m been so busy with work this year which I’m obviously so thankful for but reading has definitely taken a little bit of a back seat!
There was so many good books I read this year but there is honestly only a few that have really stood out to me! I usually only do about 10 best books so we will see if I can make it to 10 but it might be a little short!
These are in no particular order but all of them were 5 star reads for me!
- The Path to Loving Him by Meghan Quinn
- The Women by Kristin Hannah
- Merit by Devney Perry
- Her First Mistake by Kendra Elliot
- The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
- The Favorites by Layne Fargo
- One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune
- Dating After the End of The World by Jeneva Rose
- Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver
9 books it is for 2025! These made me feel all the feels, wanting so much more, & having me thinking about them still today! Quite a few of these I listened to audio 1/2 of them & honestly they were SO good as audios which says a lot about the people who are narrating! So many of these I wish I could go back and read for the first time again & I hope you feel the same when & if you read them!
Update— I hit my book goal of 2025 with one day to spare — 120 books read. IT was a challenge but I got there! I set the goal of 100 for 2026 & can’t wait to dive into all the books that have either been sitting on my shelf or books that are releasing this year! So many books, so little time!
