This is my first tag of 2025. I saw the tag on @Bookables channel on Youtube yesterday and had to do it myself. Here is a link to Heather’s video: Beginning of the Year Book Tag. I have decided to change a few of the questions to ones I would rather answer.
1. How many books are you planning on reading in 2025?
📖 I plan on reading at least 100 books which is my goal every year.
2. A book you’re likely to reread this year?
📚 There are many books I might be rereading this year that I haven’t in awhile, Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson, and the Castle Waiting series by Linda Medley. I reread at least a book a month so I’ll be rereading plenty this year. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a definite because I want to reread it for the 100th anniversary of its release on April 10th.
3. A priority read on your 2025 tbr?
📖 I made a list of 25 books I would like to read in 2025 so all of those books. The two I would like to read the most are: Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson and Swordheart by T. Kingfisher.
4. An author you want to read more books from this year?
📚 Definitely, Brandon Sanderson and T. Kingfisher.
5. Something new you want to read! (new genres or tropes)
📖 I guess I’ll say science fiction. Science fiction is not a genre I read much of at all and I’d like to find a couple books to read this year.
6. A popular book you want to read?
📚 Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
7. Most anticipated 2025 book release?- There are many releases I am highly anticipating in 2025 and could not just pick one.
📖 Run Away With Me by Brian Selznick- I’m always excited for a new Brian Selznick, so this is definitely one I’m very excited about. I have an ARC of this beauty!
📚 Holy Terrors by Margaret Owen- I love this series and I’m very excited to get to my ARC very soon.
📖 The seventh volume of The Adventure Zone is supposed to be coming out this year and I cannot wait to read it.
📚 Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher- I fell in love with T. Kingfisher’s writing last year and plan on reading everything she has written. I cannot wait for this take on Snow White. Kingfisher is so clever with her retellings and this sounds great.
📖 Hecate by Nikita Gill- I just heard about this very recently and cannot wait to read it. Nikita Gill is one of my favorite poets. I especially love her mythology poetry and I cannot wait to see her take on Hekate.
8. A bookish goal for 2025?- I have a whole post with all of my goals for 2025 on this blog. Here are a couple of them.
📚 Review every book I read
📖 Read 5 classics
📚 Complete Jane Austen Reading Challenge
📖 Finish 3 series
📚 Read 5 tomes
9. A book that’s been on your tbr you probably won’t ever read?
📖 I collect certain editions of classics such as the Reader’s Digest Classics and get them whenever I seem them at book sales. One of them I have that I do not plan on reading is Ben-Hur by Lew Wallace.
10. A series you want to read this year?- There are a good amount of series I would like to read or finish this year.
📚 Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones- I read the first book last year and hope to at least read some of these this year. These are in Diana Wynne Jones’s recommended order.
📖 The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica by James A. Owen- I would like to read the last three books this year.
📚 Zamonien series by Walter Moers- The Zamonien books were some of my favorites last year and am I am looking forward to continuing it this year.

📖 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R. R. Martin- I really enjoyed this book when I read it a few years ago and am looking forward to see this adaptation.

16. How has your reading taste evolved from last year?
📚 It really hasn’t changed that much in the last year. I like to read so many different types of books but my go-to genre will always be fantasy.
17. Booktube creators who inspire you?
📖 @Booksandlala is my favorite Booktuber I watch and she gives me many ideas.
18. Something you want to say to anyone wanting to start a bookish account?
📚 I highly recommend doing it if you love talking about books. It is an absolute joy to get to talk about what you enjoy with others and I will never not enjoy getting the space to do just that. Also, you may be able to get free copies of books through services such as NetGalley, which is a great resource to read new books especially before they release.
