Books I Want to Read Before 2025! (end of the year TBR!)

I'm not a Romance reader but I am reading The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year right now from the library and it's a fun holiday read! I should finish it in the next day or so.😊

I also desperately need to read The Book That Broke the World, especially since I just saw the cover reveal for the last book!

I want to read the thirteenth child so badly! I love Erin m Craig!

Heir is so effing good!!!! That’s all, I just loved that book so much

Holiday Romance sounds so cute!

Good afternoon my dear friend

For years I tried everything to manifest money with no success. Then I read Hidden Manifestation and everything just clicked. This book is on another level.

all of them ended up on my wishlist after the video 😂😂

Why are you dressed like Mario

The Book that Broke the World and Heir are both SO GOOD! I'm excited to see what you think of them 🤍❄

trusting this over Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki? no wonder the same cycles keep happening

you’re missing out if you ain’t read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, it breaks it all down

not saying this is bad, but Magnetic Aura makes it look basic

I have read the Rivers of London in November and unfortunately it did not work for me. I do not think I will be continuing the series. I found the characters very thinly drawn. The main character was continuously comment ting on women appearances and his desires towards them. I found it a bit too juvenile, which was a huge disappointment since I was really excited about the series.

I loved The Thirteenth Child. Read it nonstop and I hope you love it too.

Just read Nettle & Bone and A Sorceress comes to call!

My strong opinion for Murderbot is definitely 6 before 5+7

I've reread them all about 5 times in the last 18 months and on all my rereads that's my order

Weyward I had to DNF which is very rare for me- I am very interested to see what you think as I always enjoy your book reviews xx

I would love if you read any of the Bindery books that came out. I think all four of them would be to your liking. I just bought And the Sky Bled but haven't started reading it yet.

My december tbr is pretty much just finishing the books I’m in the middle of… I have a tendency to get halfway through a book and then lowkey forget about it lol

Amazing TBR love it 📙📚💚💚💚📙🎄📚☃️☃️☃️❤️❄️📖📖📚☃️🎅🏻🎅🏻📚💚💚📚🎄🎄🎄📙☃️☃️❤️❤️❤️❤️☃️❤️❄️☃️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎁❄️📖📖🎄🎄🎄

Thirteenth child love it one of my favorites hope you love it ☃️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎄🎄☃️☃️❄️📖📖📖❄️📚📚🎁🎁🎁❤️☃️🎅🏻🎄🎄🎅🏻❤️❤️❤️📚📚💚💚❄️🎁🎁📙📙🎁🎁📙🎁🎄🎄🎄❄️❤️❄️🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻☃️☃️❤️❤️📚📚📚📚

I also recommend reading book 6 before Network Effect (book 5) in the Murderbot series. It's chronologically correct and I found it a little jarring the other way around

I told myself that, other than preorders, I wasn't going to buy more physical books until I had made a dent in my Kindle tbr. But that didn't happen lol, so now I have new physical books, plus preorders that come out this month and next. So, my priorities are: Husky & His White Cat Shizun vol 7 (new release), Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish vol 3, Case Files of Jeweler Richard vol 9, Sword of the Demon Hunter vol 1-7, Japan Emerging, Remnants of Filth vol 5, The Lost Story, and, if I can get to it, Namaah's Kiss. On my kindle TBR: A Bloom in Winter, the Beloved, SOS Hotel: Final Resting Place, and Scripting Suicide in Japan.

There are SO many highly anticipated books coming out 2025 so I’m trying to read all my backlog but I don’t think I can. Unless I stop sleeping…🤔

Holiday is adorable and so funny!

So many good ones here!! Can’t wait for Wind and Truth, although I’m still working through Rhythm of War so unfortunately I won’t be getting to book 5 right away, haha. I have so many priority reads that I just won’t be able to get to but I’m definitely planning to finish Rhythm of War, and then read Two Twisted Crowns, The Winners, The Christmas Tree Farm, Shady Hollow, Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea, and we’ll see from there!

I love Erin A Craig's books and I picked The Thirteenth Child as well. It should be coming in the next day or two and I'm so excited. I contemplated also getting The Most Wonderful Crime, but decided it wasn't something I absolutely needed to own. Holiday Romance sounds fun.

OMG HEIR BY SABAA IS ON MY TBR TOO GIRL!!!!! literally when we have the same taste in fantasy I LOOOVEEE. tell me why no one i know has read the entirety of the ember in the ashes series!!!!! fucking underrated ya fantasy fr.

Hild was amazing, I really enjoyed it and I hope you get around to it soon! It was one of those books that got me back into/obsessed with reading. It has the level of character development/complexity that I love where the description of Hild’s interior dialogue is perfectly balanced with the development of the plot/politics while also being set in a super vibey/scenic time period.

For Martha Wells books you should definitely read them in chronological order, whether it's the Murderbot or the Raksura series. For Murderbot you should read the novellas first, and then read Network Effect and System Collapse together because the latter takes place immediately after the end of the former. 🤖💖

Why do you speak in spanish? Is it some kind of automatic translator? I dont want it :(

While totally appreciating that you need to get to Wind and Truth, and your bookclub picks, and your Christmas romance, I would definitely recommend not leaving it too long before The Book that Broke the World. I only had about a two-month gap between books 1 and 2, and I was already starting to forget plot details by the time I picked book 2 up! The refresher at the beginning of it helped, but not completely! Although I'll definitely be forgetting things again while waiting for book 3... 🤷‍♀🤣

I have Wind & Truth, Weyward, and Heir on my TBR too! I wanted to reread the Stormlight Archive series before Wind & Truth arrives, but I didn't have time to read them. I loved An Ember in the Ashes series. I gave all four books four stars. The number of books that I want to get through by the end of December is ridiculous. 😊

i love the space in the back ready for wind and truth

Other than Wind and Truth, I'm just trying to finish up Empire of the Vampire, and read The Fury of the Gods. THEN...I'm getting to all the books I started and soft dnf'd or forgot I was reading this year haha. I wish us both the best reading month yet!

I love Murderbot. And I've read the Rivers of London. I liked the audiobook for it.

I just finished A Little Hatred TODAY and omg it was the best one yet. I think you’re gonna love it!!!

Would love a video looking back on your monthly TBRs to see what you ended up reading

I have gotten more into fantasy over the past two years and the first half of 2025 is going to be a big one for me. I have plans to read Stormlight Archive, First Law trilogy, Farseer trilogy, Book of the Ancestor trilogy, and The Aurelian Cycle. Cannot wait!!

a bit random, but do we know where the amazing red sweater is from?

Ooh hadnt heard of Heir! I went through all my books on monday and made a tbr pile, we got thiss! 🎉

Yes i recommend chrono vs release order for murderbot diaries! as someone whose read it twice in both orders. and is tempted to do a third reread already and it hasnt been a full year since i finished my first read

I read the second Catherine Walsh holiday romance and it was sooo good. I definitely need to double back and read the first one ❤

Murderbot book 6 before book 5 is definitely the best way to read the books!

❤❤

Greetings from Istanbul 😊 I recently discovered that channel, but I need to say I love it❤

Sanderson never fails to deliver a gripping story with intricate characters and rich worldbuilding. I’d love to hear your thoughts once you dive into Wind and Truth!

I've been wanting to read Hild for ages, just never got round to it. The sequel came out earlier this year, it's called Menewood.

I’m about half way through The Thirteenth Child and it’s very good!
