It’s time for a mid-year check-in! In this video, I’m counting down the top 10 books I’ve read so far in 2025.

As always I've been reading across genres, vibes, and emotional damage levels. Whether you're after fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or something a little more grounded, there’s something here that made me feel things (sometimes too many things, honestly).

Let me know if you’ve read any of these, or if there’s a book I need to pick up in the second half of the year. Always looking to add to the never-ending TBR.

📚 What’s the best book you read this year so far?
