Eleni’s Top Reads of 2025

December 20, 2025 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

I couldn’t really pick a top five, nor a top ten this year. So you get the fun of a top 15! Like last year then, I’ll just be sharing all of their glorious covers and if I reviewed the book itself I’ll be linking the rambles in their titles so you can see if they are the books for you, at your leisure.
These are all books that kept me up till the very small hours of the night, some even made me see the first inklings of dawn and deprived me of even the little sleep I do get. But! I have no regrets whatsoever and neither would you, I believe, if you gave them a go!

A smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. ‘Well, yes,” he said […]

Review: The White Octopus Hotel by Alexandra Bell

I couldn’t put this book down and I have been thinking about it nonstop for days, in part trying to come up with the right words to say (and believe you me this isn’t even a tenth of what I’d like to go over) and in part because of how right and beautiful it felt.
