Hi friends, it’s Lucia (Little Miss Macaron), and in this cozy little video I’m sharing my favorite books of 2025—the ones that genuinely made my reading year feel so magical. After filming, I honestly realized how lucky I was with the amount of five-star energy 2025 gave me, and it made me feel extra hopeful (and excited) going into 2026. This is very much a comfort-watch kind of book chat: soft vibes, big feelings, and the stories that stayed with me long after I closed the cover. I walk through each pick with timestamps so you can skip to the ones you’re curious about: the whimsical charm of the Emily Wilde series by Heather Fawcett, the epic pull of Tracy Deonn’s Legendborn series, and the fairytale atmosphere in Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim. I also talk about the moody, cozy-spooky side with Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher, plus a classic moment with Bram Stoker’s Dracula. And if you love lyrical, foresty, folklore-leaning reads, I gush about Juliet Marillier—Wildwood Dancing, Dreamer’s Pool, and Daughter of the Forest—before ending on the dreamy, aching beauty of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I’d love to know your favorite 2025 read too, and I’m wishing you so many five-star books in 2026.
