You’ve got some good stuff in here - especially The Frozen River, The correspondent, The Lion Women of Tehran. You are in for some treats! Buckeye and Project Hail Mary are on my TBR this year.
Another way I sneak in some extra reading: I have a “car book” that lives in my car. I read whenever I have extra time. Sometimes it is only a page. It can take me 6 months to read - but I always finish an extra book and am not scrolling in the car. Either short stories or something not overly complicated so I don’t lose the plot between readings.
Great list! I've added most of those reads to mine now. I've been loving The Housemaid series by Frieda McFadden and Emily Henry has some good easy reads that are romance.
I alternate between physical books and audiobooks to get more books in. I started listening to audiobooks while cleaning and performing other tasks. I will alternate between audiobooks, podcasts and music for that stuff as well as driving. I was scrolling at bedtime and replaced that with reading as well.
The Frozen River and The Correspondent were definitely in my top 5 books I read in 2025.
Buckeye and Project Hail Mary are on my TBR. Also that Colleen Hoover book is free on Kindle Unlimited and I downloaded it but haven't started it yet. Finishing Kristin Hannah's Night Road (intense!) which I've had on my TBR for ages. It's also free on KU right now and so is Winter Garden!
Thank you for sharing your list! I also have a book on my nightstand and take it in the car with me to read while I’m waiting to pick my son up from school!
I just picked up The First Time I Saw Him from the library, but some recent reads included His and Hers, The Heir Apparent, Writers and Lovers, and several James Patterson books!

I love this way to sneak in extra reading! What a great idea.
I could have written the opening paragraph of your comment! Loved the same books you did and have the same ones on my TBR!

Love these suggestions for getting more reads in! I'm going to add both of these authors to my list too - I've heard good things on both.
I hope you like them. I'm currently on the 3rd Housemaid book - The Housemaid is Watching.

I'm so excited for both of these books already and knowing they made your top 5 makes me even more so!
So many great ones! We’ll have a few to discuss over dinner 😉
