During 2025, I read and reviewed over 145 books, many of which were advance or review copies generously provided by publishers, authors, NetGalley, or through blog tours. I’m deeply grateful for every opportunity to discover new stories and voices.

From this year’s reading, I’ve selected three standout books that truly stayed with me — one romance, one thriller, and one non-fiction memoir — each exceptional in its own way and deserving of a Best of 2025 spotlight.
