December releases always feel like the coziest kind of chaos, and in this video I’m walking you through the December 2025 anticipated book releases I personally can’t wait to get my hands on. I’m talking across the spectrum—fantasy, romance, romantasy, and general fiction—because my reading life is very much “academia vibes, but make it dramatic.” If you love time travel, medieval-ish settings, swoony tension, and those wintry, candlelit stories that feel like a library at midnight, this is very much that kind of list. I also share how I’m planning to keep track of these releases and what I’m most excited to prioritize, because December is packed and I’m trying to be at least a little intentional. If you want to read along, I’ve got multiple book clubs running on Fable (Romantics, Mythologists, F1r Romantics, and Dragons & Draconathon), and I’ll be updating my TBR and reactions over on Goodreads, Storygraph, and Fable too. Basically: this is your sign to start building your end-of-year release list and make it a whole vibe.
