I know I said I was back and then promptly disappeared again, sorry! I had some really great books that I was happily lost in and time got away from me. Oops.
You can find my Worst of the Worst 2025 post HERE.
Here is my collection of 5-Star reads for 2025, in no particular order.











































































Quite a good year, I think. Have you read any of these? If so, are our assessments the same?
Happy Reading!
Sarah
I've read The Exiles and have her most recent audiobook to read. I also have The Family Plot but have not gotten to it. Good to hear it's on your best of 2025 list.
ReplyDeleteI really like the series, she's a fantastic author. I've got a few others of hers to get to that I am waiting for from the library. The Family Plot isn't the greatest written book ever, nothing groundbreaking, but it was so much FUN. Hope you love it, too.
DeleteJust added 'The Unwanted' to my Wish List. Plus, should be reading 'The Dry' soon(ish)...
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like it, it's pretty much what you've been looking for. The Dry is great too, I like the whole series so far.
DeleteWow, what a list. Thanks, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great reading year for sure!!
DeleteLooks like it.
DeleteI had far fewer 1-star reads, and just posted those yesterday. I love comparing the two lists.
DeleteWe were not home for a couple of days, hubby's aunt died and we had to go to Southern Germany for that. Must have a look on your page.
DeleteOh no, I'm so sorry! Condolances to your family <3
DeleteThank you. She didn't have children of her own, so she was special to all her nephews and nieces.
DeleteI didn't like Hell Bent as much as Ninth House, but I'm glad to see you did!
ReplyDeleteI definiitely agree with that, Ninth House is better for sure. But I am just so enchanted by this whole concept that I overlooked a lot of things in Hell Bent that I probably shouldn't have. I am so excited for ook three!!
DeleteYou've got so many titles that I'm adding to my list! The Barn was an exceptional read for me last year too!
ReplyDeleteGood!!! I can't wait to see what you think of these! The Barn was devastating, though that probably goes without saying. Easily one of the best, most horrible books I have ever read.
