📚💖🎅💙👨❤️👨💚👻💖📚Bests of 2025 📚💖👻💙👨❤️👨💚🎅💖📚
📚👬💖👻💙🐺💛🎅💚🎃💜💀💖👬📚
As January nears its end, I've reached the end of the Best of 2025 posts here at Padme's Library. In case you missed any you will find links to all of the posts here. Be sure and have a look at some of my bests, it was difficult to narrow it down, there were just so many lovely and entertaining books, novellas, and short stories that graced my Kindle but I was finally able to put the lists together. Hope you agree and maybe you will find something new to add to your 2026 TBR list. As a special bonus, if you are still hungry for holiday tales I included the link to my Happy Holidays at a Glance post and for those who have had enough holiday sweets then I also included the link to my Happy Halloween Spookyness at a Glance post.

⏳🎭🍾👨❤️💋👨 Time Capsule 2025 👨❤️💋👨🍾🎭⏳
Another year has now been filed away under "Done and Dusted" and once again what better way to cap off 2025 than to have a Best of the Best in my readings here at Padme's Library. I have chosen what I felt was my(and trust me it was a hard decision) absolute Best Read of 2025, Audiobook listen, as well as the Best Short Story/Novella, Best Historical, Best Horror, Best Mystery, Best Paranormal, Best Comedic, and the Best Sport reads for my Time Capsule 2025. and this year I have added a Best MPreg choice too. These were the hardest choices I made when it came down to it. Choosing my Best ofs is always difficult but narrowing it down even further for the Best of the Best then it really became nerve-wracking, mind-boggling, time-consuming but definitely worth it because it also made me realize just how great the stories and character journeys I experienced were this past year despite my reading mojo taking another hit after my mother's passing early 2025 and not yet returning to pre-pandemic status. Below are the links to the original review posts for each and it's possible not all the original purchase links will still work, in those cases be sure to check the author's websites/social media for latest purchasing details.

🍾Saturday's Series Spotlight🍾: Best of 2025 Part 2
Followers of my blog and reviews will have undoubtedly noticed by now that I am a huge series fan. I have narrowed it down to 10 series that I read at least one entry in 2025, some were newly released in 2025 and some were just new to me. They were all amazing and found a lasting place in my library and in my heart. I've listed them in no particular order.
👀I've included links to the original review postings below and I try to keep the purchasing links as current as possible but they've been known to change for dozens of reasons, in case any of those links no longer work be sure to check out the author's social media links for updated buying info.👀
