Cue the confetti, pop the bubbly, or your fave bookish beverage, because we did THAT!
160 Books. Countless Emotions. One Unforgettable Year.
As the final pages of 2025 flutter closed, we’re taking a moment to say thank you to the stories that stole our breath, the characters we fell in love with and maybe screamed at, and to you, our fellow hopeless romantics, who made this journey so freaking magical.
📚 160 books devoured. That’s:
💖160 chances to swoon
💖160 late nights whispering, “just one more chapter.”
💖And probably 160 fictional men who now live rent-free in our heads
From spicy small-town flings to enemies who kissed, from slow burns that burned to surprise plot twists that had us gasping, 2025 gave us everything.
And we loved every word of it.
Here’s to the bookish breakdowns, the heart-fluttering HEAs, the annotated margins, and the group chats that turned into therapy sessions after that one scene.
But most of all, thank you for reading with us. For showing up.
For loving romance the way, we do💖
2026, we’re coming for you with even more books, more feels, and more chaotic fangirling. Let’s make it even hotter. Even dreamier. Even more of us.
Now tell us what was your favorite read of the year? Drop it below and let’s cry/swoon/scream together one more time before the clock strikes midnight 💖
Follow me everywhere romance lives. If there’s a broody antihero and a broken heart to mend, you know I’ve already reviewed it.
Carmen Alicea – One girl. Infinite tropes. Zero regrets.
