I wanted to show you our absolute favorite reads of 2025 before trying to get back in regularly reviewing. (I've got a backlog of books I need to review still, so enough to review for the next few weeks.)
I did leave out rereads, so in months where a reread was my favorite book I picked the next best read.
In January A Sorceress Comes to Call by T, Kingfisher was my absolute favorite read.
In February it was more difficult to say which was my favorite, so I'm just listing both The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst.
The Naturalist Society by Carrie Vaughn blew me away in March.
April was a tie again:
Enchantra by Kaylie Smith and The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher.
We didn't read a lot in May, so Resisting the Wicked Orc by Chloe Graves won from the two other books in the same series Voodoo Bride read that month. (Vexing the Grumpy Orc is her favorite, btw, but she read that one in March.)
Never the Roses by Jennifer K. Lambert won by miles in June!
(I will confess to having read earlier versions before June, but in June I finally got to hold and read the real thing, so it counts!)
Love is a Warsong by Danica Nava was our favorite read in July.
The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo was probably our favorite read in August, but it might be Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher, which I think I finished at the end of August, but as I might have finished it in September, and had a slow month in September I listed it as the September favorite.
In October it was The Glass Slide World by Carrie Vaughn.
A Court of Sugar and Spice by Rebecca F. Kenney was our favorite read in November. Voodoo Bride might have gone on a bit of a binge and read 4 other books by Kenney after finishing A Court of Sugar and Spice.
For December it was difficult to pick again, so I will list both Paladin's Hope and Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher.
And I'm leaving out lots of other cool books, but to list all 76 books we read is a bit too much work.
Happy reading, everyone!
