Hi friends! I hope January has been treating you well! Historically, I’ve been bad at these challenges that are the x number of books for x year, but I wanted to try it this time around and split it into 5 categories. For some reason that made it seem less daunting to me than just picking 25 books at random.
So, get cozy, maybe pull up Goodreads or StoryGraph in case there are books on here that pique your interest, and let’s talk about 25 books I want to read in 2025!

With the exception of the ARC I’m currently reading, all of the ARCs I have are 2025 releases. Most of the time I like to read an ARC either the month before it’s released, or the month it is released, but I have a few that I’m just so excited about that I’d love to read them before the year is out. Most of these actually come out in January, so I’ll be reading them either this month or in December, but I’ve got a few others that are coming out a little later that I can’t wait to read!
Get comfy and cozy and let’s chat 2025 ARCs I’m most excited to read!

It’s almost Halloween season and I’m so excited! This really is the time of year where all I want to do is sit and read — I mean, that is always, but honestly, from like October to February it being so dark outside so early is really hard for me so all I want to do is read and escape. Anyway, this time of year especially, all I want to do is read dark and scary books; lots of intense mystery/thrillers and a lot of horror novels.
While I have my Fall TBR, I also wanted to do a Halloween themed TBR for the month of October. Now, my mystery/thriller and horror TBRs are never ending, so there were a lot of options for books to be on this list. I then thought “Hey, you’re trying to get your physical TBR down, how about this list is just the mystery/thriller/horror books that you’ve got physical copies of” and then suddenly it became a little bit easier to figure out this TBR!
So, if you’d like to see what scary and spine-chilling reads I want to get to in October, let’s go!

Happy Fall, sundrops! We’ve most definitely still got summer-like weather here, but that’s true until about the end of October. While the weather may not feel like Fall, it officially is, so I thought it would be fun to share my Fall TBR with you!
For my Fall TBR these will be books that I want to get to in the next 2.5 months. This list has a bit of a mix of everything. There’s some romance, mystery/thriller, fantasy, historical fiction…all sorts of things because we all know first and foremost that I’m a mood reader.
If you want to know what books I’m hoping to read this Fall, keep reading!

Hi hi friends! I realized that aside from reviews, I don’t really talk about what ARCs I have/am reading, and I thought for a chill post today I’d go through my NetGalley ARCs with you!

Happy 2024 Summer Olympics Eve to all those who celebrate. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris this year are from Friday, July 26th through Sunday, August 11th and I am SO excited!
I mentioned this in my monthly reset post, but I absolutely love the Olympics. I love sports, I always have — I grew up playing basketball and volleyball (mostly for fun) and played competitive soccer for 6 years (fun fact, I wanted to be a professional soccer player from the ages of 10-14). I’m also a very competitive person, so I love watching the best athletes in the world compete for Olympic gold.
I adore both the summer and winter Olympics, so whenever it’s an Olympic year, the games definitely become a main part of my personality. Because of this, I’ve been wanting to read more sports-focused books (fiction, I am not in the mood for non-fiction at the moment), and of course, I’m leaning toward books that are about Olympic sports. That being said, here are 5 books about summer Olympic sports that I want to read within the next 2 weeks!

Alexa, play What Time is It from High School Musical 2 because it’s my favorite time of year, summer! I’ve always loved the summer; when I was a kid I used to go to the beach every Wednesday with my friends, and so many of my favorite memories are from the summertime.
While my summers have gotten busier (and more stressful) the older I’ve gotten, my love for the season has never changed. This summer, and June especially, is going to be super busy for me, and while I don’t typically do monthly TBRs, I do like setting up seasonal TBRs from time to time, so I thought it would be fun to share with y’all some books I’ve looking forward to reading over the summer!

Hello friends! I hope that your November has gotten off to a great start! November is going to be a busy month for me, which unfortunately, hasn’t helped my anxiety over the last few weeks — that being said, I’m doing all I can this month to keep myself calm and relaxed. Anyway! Even with the busy November (and December) that I have ahead of me, I do have some books that I’m hoping to get read before the year ends, and I figured, how better to keep me accountable than make a post about it?
Grab your favorite snacks, get cozy, and let’s chat about a few books that I’m hoping to get to before the end of 2023!
