2025 Reading Wrap-up

My review quality has tanked on my blog in the last year and I know I’m missing a bunch from the list below, that I forgot to record but it’s because so many other good things are happening these days! I attended sooo many events as an author/vendor in 2025 that I need a 4-year nap. Also, in the past few months, I cofounded a small bookish vendor business that will do pop ups in different breweries around Raleigh. So, let’s just say my reading pace and tracking has suffered.

These are in order of favorite. Have you read any?
