We recap our top five books of 2025 and the stories that kept us turning pages across sports memoirs, romance series, mysteries, and faith-based reads. We also compare reading goals, laugh about falling down series rabbit holes, and say it with our chests: audiobooks count. Our five-star sports memoir picks from Dawn Staley and A’ja Wilson, why Black women’s stories and mentorship themes hit hard. We talk about why a plus-size romance that feels funny and empowering 
We break down our 2025 totals and 2026 reading goals, from steady to extreme why listening to audiobooks is still reading.
