I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. This week I'm listing the 5 best fiction books I read in 2025 - though really it's 7 because I couldn't narrow it down. This is not counting rereads and I incorporate genres like fantasy or sci-fi into this list as well.
1. The Dressmaker's of London by Julia Kelly - I really enjoyed this one and it was a nice twist on the typical homefront book.
2. The Keeper of Lost Art by Laura Morelli - Another twist on a homefront book with the main character being a child and the book being set in Italy.
3. Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand - Hilderbrand was on my Must Read Author list for 2025 and I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
4. The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst - This was a bit of a case of right book right time but I also just thoroughly enjoyed it.
5. The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick - This was another on my author list and another that I just thoroughly enjoyed. The audio especially was fantastic.
6. The Forget-Me-Not Library by Heather Webber - I love every book by Webber that I've read and this one just felt really special.
7. The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center - Another author on my must read list (2025 was a good year for that list) and the audio was just magical.
What were some of your favorite fiction reads?
I loved The Rom-Commers! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books. I am still waiting on the Julia Kelly book and have added a few more of your titles here.
ReplyDeleteI recognize most of these but have only read Katherine Center. Others are on my TBR though. Thanks for sharing.

I see four I enjoyed. I think I need to look for the Julia Kelly one. I've had the Elin Hilderbrand one in my wish list for a long time so probably need to upgrade that one!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to any of these this past year, although a few are on my wish list. Maybe this year!
