Favorite Books I Read in 2025

Sunrise on the Reaping (Suzanne Collins)

“I know one thing: The Capital can never take Lenore Dove from me again. They never really did in the first place. Nothing you can take from me is ever worth keeping, and she is the most precious thing I’ve ever known.”

People We Meet on Vacation (Emily Henry)

“Vacations always end. It’s the very face that it’s finite that makes traveling special. You could move to any of those destinations you loved in small doses, and it wouldn’t be the spellbinding, life-altering seven days you spend there as a guest, letting a place into your heart fully, letting it change you.”

Beach Read (Emily Henry)

“And that was the moment I realized: when the world felt dark and scary, love could whisk you off to go dancing; laughter could take some of the pain away; beauty could punch holes in your fear. I decided then that my life would be full of all three.”

Destructively Mine (Krista and Becca Ritchie)

“And I just think, it’s me and Rocky. It’s always been me and Rocky. From the beginning. Until the end. No one else could ever take his place. I’ve told Rocky this so many times, it might as well be a nightly prayer.”

Shatter Me (Tahereh Mafi)

I am nothing but novocaine. I am numb, a world of nothing, all feeling and emotion gone forever. I am a whisper that never was.”

Ignite Me (Tahereh Mafi)

“Aaron Warner Anderson, chief commander and regent of Sector 45, son of the supreme commander of The Reestablishment. He has a soft spot for fashion.”

Deep End (Ali Hazelwood)

“If you don’t think that I’m very aware of your presence, always, you have no idea what’s going on.”

Burn Bright (Krista and Becca Ritchie)

“Your torment, my war. Your love, my triumph. I don’t know how to dim when I love you, Harriet. I only know how to burn bright.”

The Love Hypothesis (Ali Hazelwood)

“I’m starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.”

Game Changer (Rachel Reid)

“Kip glanced at his own name on the tag, as if he didn’t know what it said. Like an idiot.”

Heated Rivalry (Rachel Reid)

“Ilya couldn’t believe what he had been reduced to. He was…infatuated. It was disgusting.”

Companion (2025, dir. Drew Hancock)

“Most of the time it’s like… I don’t know. It’s like there’s this thick black cloud covering everything. Like we see the world, but we don’t really see the world, you know. We’re all just stumbling around directionless. No sense of meaning, no sense of purpose.”

“I spent my whole life keeping this secret, this shame of what I am, and the more I had the shame, the more it grew and grew until it started to destroy the one thing that gave me a purpose: my voice.”

Superman (2025, dir. James Gunn)

“That is where you’ve always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. I love, I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that’s my greatest strength. And someday, I hope, for the sake of the world, you understand that it’s yours too.”

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025, dir. Matt Shakman)

House of Flame and Shadow (Sarah J. Maas)

"I'm sick and tired of people using girl as an insult."

Dishonestly Yours (Krista and Becca Ritchie)

“Hope. Belief. It’s driven my entire life. But I manufacture belief for others. I create false hope and fake promises, and in a jarring second, I question if I’m tricking myself into believing we can help him. I’ve always trusted the confident voice in my head that whispers, I have this. Trust me. Everything. Will. Be. Okay.”

Heartstopper, Vol. 1 (Alice Oseman)

Kingdom of the Feared (Kerri Maniscalco)

“And he is her fate. As she is his. 'As above, so below'. They are the balance. Light and dark. One fallen from above, and one created in the underworld below.”

Miller's Girl (2024, dir. Jade Bartlett)

“Literature is my solace in the solitude. And writing is my only escape, because, you see, I’ve never left the edges of this town. It’s positively gothic, really. Lonely girl longs to be meaningful. Lonely girl longs to be loved. Books make longing seem romantic, but it’s awful. It’s greedy, and I wear longing like a fucking veil.”

"We'll be your brothers, Dad."

A Fire in the Flesh (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

One will be the hardest thing you've ever done, and the other the easiest, but there is always the opportunity for choice if you don't take the easiest path."

Iron Flame (Rebecca Yarros)

"Because love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you've entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dream."
