Hi friends!
I’m back with another book post for this month. It’s been very bookish around here this December, but I hope that you can appreciate that. I’ve slowly been curating my 2025 TBR (to be read) list as new releases have been announced. I also prioritize books that I’ve had my eye on for a while but didn’t get to this past year. I’ll break things up between new releases and the backlist books that I am excited to finally prioritize.
While I love to add books I have my eye on to my GoodReads list, I find it can get a bit hectic and muddled. I utilize the app to keep books on my radar, but I much prefer to write down my TBR in my reading journal. This keeps me focused on the ones that I *really* want to make an effort to get to. I also love the art of pencil to paper. :) Do you do the same? I love hearing how people track their reading.
So here’s a look at what I am the most excited about this year. Let me know what you are most looking forward to by messaging me on Instagram.
