Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's prompt is "Best Books I Read in 2025".
I don't give five stars to books very often. In fact, out of the 105 books I read last year, only nine of them got five stars! So, instead of Top Ten Tuesday, I guess this is technically ... Top Nine Tuesday? Anyway, here are my favorite books I read in 2025, in the order that I read them. All covers are linked to Goodreads.
