So we’re over half way through the year and I thought I’d do a little roundup of my top 5 books of 2025 so far. I read about 18 books between January – June and quite a few of them weren’t actually originally on my To Be Read pile. I ended up adding quite a few new ones through 99p kindle deals or the 2 Audiobooks for 1 credits on Audible.
I was initially just going to chose my top 3 books, but as I have quite a few 4 Star books (no 5’s yet as I am very stingy with my 5’s haha), deciding on only 3 books was too difficult and so I ended up picking a top 5 instead.
Anyway let’s get to it – here’s my top 5 books of 2025 so far (in no particular order):
- Nocticadia – Keri Lake
- Verity – Colleen Hoover
- Disorder – Rokia
- Piglet – Lottie Hazell
- Iron Flame – Rebecca Yarros
I’ve still to write up my May & June Reads, but you can find my reviews of most of the mentioned books here in my January & February Reads and my March & April Reads.
Have you read any of these? What are your top 5 books (or 3 if you can narrow it down) so far this year? I’d love to know!

99p ebook deals are dangerous. I’m too scared to count how many I actually have on my TBR after having my Kindle for so many years 😂
This looks like an interesting mix of books. I majorly need to get to Fourth Wing and Verity (the latter’s got an adaptation due later this year).
Here’s hoping you find your first five star read soon 🤞

Oh my goodness yes – don’t talk to me about 99p kindle deals aha – I recently bought quite a few more too – they’re easier to forget about too I feel cause I don’t see the physical books on my shelf haha!
Oh yes I’d forgotten about that – I look forward to watching the adaptation!! It’s not a long read tbf – I think I binged it in a couple of days aha!
I haven’t finished fourth wing series yet – still need to read Onyx Storm 🙂 xo

Omg yes I forget mine at times too. I was actually looking through my Kindle for covers for a birthstone post and found one that I can’t even not remember buying but I don’t even remember hearing of it before 🙈 pretty sure that was a free one but even so I feel bad.
I’m intrigued by it too, I generally love films with Anne Hathaway in them. I’ll make sure I pick it up once I’ve caught up on a few library books and arcs. I hope you enjoy that one whenever you get to it. I think you have plenty of time to catch up as I believe the next one is further down the line than usual 🤔
