25 books I want to read in 2025

[@raniareadsmore]

I read *Anxious People* last year, and it was my first time picking up a Fredrik Backman book. His writing style is so unique, with that perfect blend of dry humour and raw, authentic characters. It’s such a great read! I’d love to hear what you think of it!

ooh I added a few of these to my tbr! and I love your thoughts on reading goals. I overwhelmed myself with my goal in 2024 when I wasn't reading consistently before that. my goal for this year is 20 books which feels way more doable. :) also I think in another video you said you were interested in more classics that depict real life topics and I noticed there aren't a lot of Black authors on your lists, so I wanted to recommend a few if you have not already read them! Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, and The Street by Ann Petry. 💛
