Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly themed post first created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s theme is a freebie so I thought I’d steal an idea I’ve seen going around on other social media platforms. This is a list of the 10 books I’d like to read before the end of 2025! Now, will I actually read all these? Probably not, but they are on my nebulous TBR and some are definite reads.





- Shadows Upon Time by Christopher Ruocchio
- Snake-Eater by T. Kingfisher
- The Strength of the Few by James Islington
- Brimstone by Callie Hart
- Alchemised by SenLinYu






There’s no way I’m finishing ten books before the end of the year. I boggles my mind that you have a sub-one year-old and still might, but best of luck!

Hah, more like 6 or 7 books if I’m lucky! I have done well and have no ARCs for January so I can either get ahead on 2026 or mood read.

At the moment, I have… only the dresden files arc in January, and I just finished that. So I’ll probably just wander around aimlessly now lol? Good luck to you!

Wandering aimlessly can be nice though!

I’ll be reading Snake Eater too. It’s hard to imagine we’re so close to the end of the year, and at this point I don’t think I’ll finish ten more books😁

I definitely won’t be reading 10 but I wish you good luck with your choices. My reading has been very slow because there are too many things going on around me at the moment. Luckily I don’t have any December review books so I’m hoping to catch up on a few I missed in Oct/Nov and maybe make a start on a couple of January books too.
