Last year, I only read 23 books published in 2025. Of these, seven got five full stars from me and four more garnered four stars (on Goodreads.) For the purposes of this list, I am sticking with romances or works that have a strong romantic element. In no particular order, here are my best reads…
I’ve had a pretty good reading year this year; I’ve read/listened to well over 250 books and audiobooks, and the majority have fallen into the ‘good’ (B/B+) range with around a couple of dozen earning DIK status – which isn’t too shabby. So here, not in order of preference, is my Best of 2025 list…
My second year of reading and reviewing romance for All About Romance and I’ve found many books to enjoy, many of them romances that are not just ‘good’, but also fresh – at least to me. Looking back over my 2025 favourites, I see that I’m light on queer romances, romantasy and dark romance; I’ve…
It’s that time of year when we make our Best of the Year lists here at AAR and I’m excited to share my favorite reads of 2025. While I read more mysteries and women’s fiction this year, I still enjoyed plenty of romance books, especially romcoms. Here are my top ten picks for 2025, not…

I’ve had a pretty good year of reading all told – there have been a few, but not too many duds, and Goodreads tells me I’ve read/listened to just over 250 books this year, and that I’ve graded the majority of them 4 stars / B and above, which isn’t too shabby! I definitely curate…
Although I read less in 2024 than in previous years, I still found some excellent books that have stuck with me and I’m happy to share them with you. Here they are, in no particular order. I hope you find something to add to your reading list! Twisted Shadows by Allie Therin I was eagerly…
Following a hectic year of working and going back to school, I am far behind on my reading challenge on Goodreads. Despite that, I did manage to read some great books this year. The Beast Takes a Bride by Julie Anne Long This title received one of the few five star reviews I gave this…
