I saw this Firsts of 2025 Book Tag on The Literary Huntress’s blog and decided to join. This book tag was originally created by Tanya @ girlxoxo, but it looks like their website is inaccessible now. Anyway, let’s jump into my Firsts of 2025 Book Tag answers! The questions are at the end of my answers for easy participation; just copy and paste them into your own blog!

The 2025 Mid-Year Freakout Book Tag is a great way to look at what you’ve read during the first six months of the year. I first participated in this tag in 2024. It was a lot of fun, so I’m back for the 2025 Mid-Year Freakout Book Tag. Feel free to join in! The questions are at the end of this post for easy participation. Just copy and paste them into your own blog.

I’ve seen this 2025 Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag floating around lately, most recently on Leslie’s blog. So I thought I’d join the fun. Apparently the only time I did the Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag was in 2023. This book tag was originally created by Roisin’s Reading on YouTube.
So far I’ve read 42 books. Novellas and audiobooks helped pump that number up so early in the year.
Nope! There’s definitely still room for me to find a favorite. Of course there have been some books I quite enjoyed, but none that were a true “omg” 5-star read.
These are the three books that were almost 5-star reads for me. I rated each of these 4.5 stars.
I’ve never rated a book just one star and that continues to hold true. However, my least favorite book of the year so far is a tie between ISABELLA NAGG AND THE POT OF BASIL and GOTHEL AND THE MAIDEN PRINCE. I rated both three stars.
Fantasy, to no one’s surprise! Right now 38.5% of my reads have been fantasy.
Probably THE HATE U GIVE. I had a general idea of what it was about, but I didn’t expect it to be so good! Definitely recommend it to those who have yet to read it.
I want to read A CROWN SO SILVER by Lyra Selene. I haven’t read it yet because I was waiting to order the special edition sequel from Fairyloot.
One goal I made this year is to purchase less books. So far I feel I’ve stuck to that pretty well. Most of my purchases fall in the book subscription category. I did stray a few times, but in most cases I bought them used, so I saved some money there.
I also made a goal to read my Arthurian books. So far I haven’t picked up a single one.
Some book bloggers I started following this year include: Read You Leyre, The Reading Stray, and Dark Shelf of Wonders.
Thanks to Zezee With Books, I found this Ten Lords A Leaping Book Tag that looks perfect for bookish holiday fun. Zezee found it on Falling Down the Book Hole, but it might have been created by Sarah at Book Hooked Nook, a now deleted blog. My answers will use books I read only in 2024 (in case I decide to do this book tag every year). If you want to participate, I put the prompts at the end of this post for easy copying and pasting into your own blog.

With the end of the year just about here, it is yet again time for the End of the Year Book Tag 2024 edition. This is my third time participating (2023, 2022). I don’t know who created it, but it’s short and sweet. I put the prompts at the end for anyone to grab and paste into their own post. Anyone can feel free to tag themselves for this End of the Year Book Tag 2024.
