These are some of my most anticipated book releases in 2025. Spanning genres near and dear to my heart, Romance and Speculative Fiction, some of these titles have been on my list for months. As soon as I saw them, most likely on Instagram, I added them to my TBR and watched NetGalley for the ARC access. Then I had to go and request too many books in 2024, so I’ll just be anticipating and pacing myself this year. Look at all those titles…I really do wish I could just always be reading. Hope you find one or two titles you want to read this year!
