There’s so many amazing new books that are being released in 2025! This year instead of sharing about ALL new releases - because let’s be honest that would take way too much time and energy - I’m trying to focus on my most anticipated list, the ones I’m truly excited about adding to my TBR. The top of my TBR usually includes a lot of romance, romantasy/witchy, and nonfiction (personal development or memoir) picks.
You’ll notice many of the books below are marked with a 💝- this indicates that I’ve received a gifted finished or arc copy from the publisher. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the publishers!! Any that have a heart envelope like this 💌 are books I’ve preordered.
