So far 2025 has been a huge year of reading for me. With only three months left, I wanted to share my top five reads that you should definitely make time for before 2026 hits! When in Rome was the ultimate summer read, it follows burnt out pop-star Amelia ‘Rae’ Rose in her escape from stardom to a small town named Rome. Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose DarlingFear the Flames follows Elowen, an exiled queen, in her journey to reclaim the dragons torn away from her as a child. In my opinion, its intensity was covered with respect, nuance, and complexity, and has contributed to this book being one I’ll never forget.
