I Read 96 Books in 2025: My Reading Wrapped

96 books later, we reached the end of 2025. In this episode of Laura’s Library, I’m sharing my 2025 Reading Wrapped. Spoiler alert, this year brought the highest number of five-star reads I’ve ever had.As the year unfolded, my reading taste shifted. I found myself gravitating toward emotionally reflective stories, gentle wisdom, and books that ask meaningful questions about life without feeling heavy or overwhelming. While I still love a fun romance (especially the funny, heartfelt kind), I noticed how deeply I craved books that made me feel seen and understood.In this episode, I talk through:All of my 5-star reads from this yearThe genres that surprised me, and the ones I want more of in 2026How my reading habits changed in my twentiesWhy I’m letting go of strict reading goals in 2026What’s coming next on the podcast (including books I didn’t love that aren’t worth your time).If you like thoughtful reading reflections, bookish honesty, and cozy end-of-year reflections as we start 2026, this one’s for you.From one fangirl to another, it’s lovely to have you here.
