Books I Meant to Read in 2025

2025 ended up being such a weird reading year. I hit my goal of 100 books in the end but once fall hit, I really hit a slump and struggled to enjoy reading. I'm going to try and lower my goal for 2026 and not have TBRs at all to assist with not having a ton of books that were on a TBR to finish. It tends to just make me feel bad that I'm not getting to them.

Each year, my goal is for this specific list to be under 10 books. I was able to do that for 2025 with just 9 books that I meant to read that I did not get around to. Part of that is due to me recycling my TBRs from month to month. 

  1. Wicked by Gregory Maguire (January/July)
  2. Cat Daddy by Jackson Galaxy (January/July/August/September)
  3. Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson (February)
  4. The Midnight Orchestra by Jessica Khoury (March)
  5. The Reader by M.K. Harkins (March)
  6. Goddess in the Machine by Lora Beth Johnson (April)
  7. The School of Good & Evil by Soman Chainani (April/August/September)
  8. First Time Caller by B.K. Borrison (May/June/August/September)
  9. The Bro Code by Elizabeth A. Siebert (May/June)
