Books read 2025

In 2025, I've enjoyed a variety of books, including 'Phantasma' by Kaylie Smith, which has garnered high ratings with an average of 4.08 based on nearly 200,000 ratings. This gripping tale, first published in September 2024, has been celebrated for its engaging narrative and depth. Another standout on my list is 'The Boyfriend' by Freida McFadden, rated 4.03, showing the appeal of contemporary fiction. This title has resonated with a large audience, indicating its popularity. I also delved into 'Lights Out' by Navessa Allen, which holds a commendable rating of 4.16, making it a must-mention. Each of these books reflects the diverse genres and themes that are trending this year, from fantasy to reality-based narratives. As of May 2025, I've also explored memoirs like 'Facing the Music' by Hannah Spearritt, rated at 3.22. These real-life stories often bring a refreshing perspective, connecting readers with the personal experiences of the authors. Looking ahead, I’m excited about the potential reads the rest of the year will bring and encourage fellow book lovers to share their favorites as well. Happy reading!
