2025 Top 5 Reads - Book Chatter

Reading was down overall for 2025. Who could read during this mess of a country we are living in. Even though my numbers were down, I read some excellent reads. Give any of these a go, you won’t be sorry. 

The Imagined Life by Andrew Porter
Heart the Lover by Lily King
The Mad Wife by Meagan Church
My Friends by Fredrick Backman
Writers & Lovers by Lily King

You’ll notice two Lily King books. I am in love with her writing. Give them all to me, please. All of these books stayed with me long after I turned the last page. You can’t go wrong with any of them. Enjoy!
