End of the Year Wrap Up 2025
Finally, I am able to get this out!! 2025 was a rough year and I was barely able to make my goal of 100 books read in the year. I want to thank all the authors who took a chance on me and allowed me to hype their books. I am a small influencer who is quiet and sometimes finds it hard to post things. However, I try to make sure to post reviews for them. I was able to go back and read some books that I have loved over the years. I also was able to read some new series that have sucked me in and made me love them. So with that being said, you know what time it is. Superlatives time!! I was able to grab the top 5 books from certain categories and then selected my top book for each category. I'll break some of them down below. Give some of these authors, series and books a read!
