Description

I’m sharing my favorite books of 2025 — the ones that stayed with me, challenged me, comforted me, or simply pulled me through a heavy season.

This year, I read 55 books (and counting), and today I’m narrowing it down to the 13 books I loved the most. These picks span fiction and nonfiction, parenting, faith, health, and pure escapism — a true snapshot of my reading life this year.

December feels heavy. The sun sets early. Everything feels like effort. And yet, there is nothing like a really good book. This episode is for anyone craving depth, distraction, or nourishment through reading.
