iPad Lettering

The magic of things that bloom and glow in the night.🖤

Because nothing says party like crawling into your cozy bed with a good book at 8 pm. 🤓

I just finished my 50th book of 2025, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this artwork and a book rec list.

Here are all the books I’ve given five stars so far this year.

Immortal Consequences by I.V. Marie (Probably my favorite book of 2025!!!)
The Compelling Fates Saga Series by Sophia St. Germain (I read books one and two. SO GOOD. Book three is out in August and I can’t wait! If you like Sarah J. Maas books, you’ll like this series.)
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Forget Me Not by Stacey Willingham
The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith (Historical Fiction meets Fantasy. I loved every minute!)
The  Man Made of Smoke by Alex North
A Terribly Nasty Business by Julie Seales (book two of the Beatrice Steele series)
The Ghostwriter by Julie Clark
Far and Away by Amy Poeppel
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
That’s Not My Name by Rachel Lally
A Sea of Unspoken Things by Adrienne Young
It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan

If you want to know more about any particular book, let me know in the comments, and I’ll share the review I left on Goodreads. 

I occasionally receive ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) books via @NetGalley, so some of these titles may not be available yet, but they still deserve a spot on your TBR! 

P.S. This artwork is a coloring page design from my upcoming The Bibliophile’s Coloring & Lettering Book with @better_day_books. It won’t hit shelves until October, but you can pre-order it now. 🩷📚

P.P.S. I’m always adding to my TBR, so please share your favorite reads from this year!

It’s that time of year again!
