2025 Reading Reviews

My reviewing last year on the blog was non-existence. I just struggled with blogging last year for some unknown reason. I do think this year will be my final year as I picked reads and read for enjoyment rather than reviewing purposes. Because of that, most of my reviews were put on Goodreads and Storygraph, I’m going to link them in this purse and, maybe, create a tab with them in order of when I read them for ease. 

So, shall we begin?

Some of these titles are eBook exclusives, so can only be found either direct from the author’s website or via online retailers (yep, Amazon). But you can buy most either via your bookshop of choice (local/indepdant/Waterstones/etc). I did create a shelf on my affiliate Bookshop.org for some ease for some ease (but if any titles grab your eye, borrow from your local library and buy where you feel happy spending your money!)

So, while I might not be blogging as much here, I will still be reading and audiobooking, so please keep your eye on my socials (Hi Instagram/Goodreads/Storygraph) and I will try and be more uptodate on tthe Facebook and the Bookshop (affiliate). 

Happy 2026 Reading!
