It’s the bittersweet Bookmas finale, and I wanted to do something a little different: instead of using my prompt jar to pick future reads, I’m letting it reflect on the books that actually stuck with me this year. I pull prompts one by one and use them like little book superlatives—think: the book I can’t stop recommending, the one I haven’t stopped thinking about, the one that made me ugly cry (but in a healing way), and the story that felt like a warm hug. It’s basically a cozy end-of-year reset… but for my reading life. If you love a reflective wrap-up moment (preferably with a matcha in hand), this video is for you. I chat through the emotional standouts, the books with immaculate vibes, the characters I miss like real people, and the reads that genuinely raised the bar for everything I picked up afterward. It’s not about ranking every single book—it’s about celebrating the ones that shaped my year, reminded me why I read in the first place, and made adulthood feel a little more romantic, one chapter at a time.
