5 ⭐️BOOKS I HAVE READ SO FAR IN 2025

I am a BIG TIME mood reader. I tend to give 5 stars to any book that I thoroughly enjoyed while reading, and could see myself reading again or recommending to someone else.

I don’t love nitpicking into the plot or writing style - as long as I loved it and couldn’t put it down, it gets 5 stars from me!!

Here are some of my 5 ⭐️ reads from 2025:

📖 The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy

📖 Never Lie by Freida McFadden

📖 Five Total Strangers by Natalie D. Richards

📖 Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

📖 Lights Out by Navessa Allen

📖 Unloved by Peyton Corinne

📖 Wait For You by Jennifer L. Armentrout

📖 Swift & Saddled/Lost & Lassoed by Lyla Sage

📖 One by One by Freida McFadden

What is on your 5 star reading list for 2025? 🤔

If you’ve read any of these books, what did you rate them? ✨
