Friday Fives - Five (plus Two) Favorite Fiction Reads of 2025


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?
