25 Books in 2025

Title: 25 Books in 2025 At the start of 2025, I set a goal for myself: read 25 books this year. Some of those have turned into audiobooks (thank you, car rides, cardio workouts, and cleaning sessions), but I’ve really enjoyed the balance of formats.

What I’ve discovered along the way is that I love mixing it up - sometimes a swoony romance, other times a page-turning thriller, and every so often a good self-help book to keep me on my toes.

Most nights, I end up reading right from my phone. It’s the perfect way to wind down while putting the kids to bed, without having to worry about finding a reading light. Shoutout to iPhone dark mode and the Red Light Converter screen protector from BodyGuardz for saving my eyes and letting me keep the vibe cozy.

If you’re curious about everything I’ve read (and even a few 2024 stragglers I threw in), you can check out my full lineup on my Amazon list.

As of September 2025, I’m on book 21 out of 25—almost there! Now I’m wondering… should I aim for 26 books next year?

I’d love to hear from you too—what are your favorite books? Drop your recommendations my way. My reading list can always use some new additions.
