BookTok Wrapped 2025
Another year where my full-time personality was “girl who never puts a book down.”
32,896 pages and 80 books later… and yes, 69 of them were immersive reads because my eyes and ears like to team up. 😌💅
This year was all about finding new favorites, falling deeper into Romantasy chaos, and pretending I don’t have a growing TBR while… adding to it anyway. I met characters I’ll defend with my whole chest, narrators who deserve Oscars, and stories I’ll keep thinking about long after the year ends.
And now that my 2025 Wrapped is finally wrapped, you know what time it is.
✨ It’s officially 2026 TBR planning season ✨
Do I have space? No.
Will I stop? Also no.
Drop your top recs below, I’m building the most unserious, unrealistic, absolutely perfect list for next year. 📚💗🎧
QOTD: If I could only choose one book to start 2026 with…what should it be?

One of the best things about following BookTok is discovering genre trends that match your reading mood. This year, I fell headfirst into Romantasy, a blend of romance and fantasy that adds an extra layer of magic to love stories. If you’re new to it, think of it as emotional journeys with fantasy elements like mythical creatures or enchanted worlds — perfect for readers who want escapism with heart. Aside from Romantasy, sports romance has been a surprising favorite among BookTokers, combining competitive spirit with passionate relationships. Thrillers kept me on the edge of my seat, and audiobooks allowed my eyes and ears to team up, covering 69 immersive listens this year. This dual-format reading made long commutes and quiet times richer and more enjoyable. For those building their 2026 TBR list like me, I recommend balancing genres to keep variety and avoid burnout. Try mixing Romantasy with a gripping thriller or a light sports romance to keep things fresh. Also, consider incorporating audiobooks, especially if you’re busy but want to keep up with your reading goals. Finally, engaging with the BookTok community has made reading more social and fun — sharing recommendations and discovering hidden gems through hashtags like #BookTokWrapped and #RomantasyBooks has been invaluable. So drop your top reads and help me start the new year with an unrealistically perfect TBR!
