I read so many books for my thesis and for work in 2025, and many of them made my list of favorite reads for the year. I also read a ton of fiction, continuing my horror streak from last year and deep-diving into new-to-me authors.

Here’s to another year of book club meetings, listening to audiobooks on my commute to therapy, and staying up way too late reading comics in bed! 💛📚

What were your favorite reads this year? Did you follow any particular genres, themes, or trends? What are you most looking forward to reading in 2026?
