2025 Books on My Radar as Someone Who Reads 150+ Books a Year

Happy 2025! It felt so good to turn the calendar to a new year this time around. As I was going through the books I am so excited for that will release in 2025, I kept thinking, “and another one! and another one! and ANOTHER!” 2025 is simply a STACKED year for publishing. And this isn’t even all of them!

If you don’t know me and my reading taste, I am a romance reader girlie but I also love YA, dabble in literary fiction, and enjoy a good memoir. I will dip my toe in fantasy, especially romantasy, so if you’re like me, maybe there will some that make your list too!

My September-December releases will be coming later this Spring. What are you excited about?
