Hey friends! In this video I’m sharing my top ten books I read in 2025—no particular order, but honestly, they’re the ones that stood out to me first when I looked back through my list. I almost hit my goal of 52 books (I finished 48), and after you guys asked for recommendations, I grabbed my notebook and just went for it. Most of these are non-fiction because memoirs have been my favorite lately—I can remember them so clearly, whereas fiction sometimes starts to roll together for me. I talk through each title, what it’s about, and why I’d recommend it (or what you should know before picking it up). A few are really heavy memoirs with abuse themes, so I share that upfront. I also include a couple fiction picks—one clean YA historical fiction I pre-read for my older kids, and one psychological thriller series I enjoyed even though that genre can get a little predictable after a while. And of course, I had to include a couple homeschooling reads too—one that’s more encouragement for the new homeschool mom, and one that’s super practical with real-life details from elementary all the way through high school. If you’re a mom who loves books, needs encouragement, or wants homeschool-related reads, this list is for you.
