Overview

I'm a mood reader, so I tend to pick up books as they catch me. That said, my TBR is insane and I've been putting off books I'm actually looking forward to. So this challenge is for the books I'll be making sure to finally read in 2025. 

The goal is 20 books!

If you join me, feel free to add 2025 new releases or books that have been on your TBR for ages. Whatever you want, just make sure they are books you want to prioritize this year!

Good luck!
