My favourite January read was this gothic fever dream of a novel (and I mean, it‘s also my pick for best cover 😍) this had me in a chokehold the entire time - from finding it at the library to reading the last page.

My 2025 favorite books

First up is DLTFI

I really enjoyed reading this book and it was also one of the first ones I read this year. Just the right amount of creepy and horror. Also felt very dark academia to me. It also features asexual representation and an Achillean romance.

DELIGHTFUL! It‘s an exquisite Christmas tale, full of inappropriate behavior and gruesome murders. If you need a break from saccharine Hallmark Christmas movies or holiday rom-com novels, let this be your escape. It‘s a quick read and joyously grotesque.

Reggie lol I‘m so glad you liked this. Those last 30 pages were so bonkers. 2d

DGRachel @Reggie Yes! Bonkers in the best way. I laughed so hard. Should I be worried about myself? Should Litsy? 🤣🤣 2d

LeahBergen It‘s a Christmas tale!? I better pluck it off my shelves to read soon! 😆 2d

DGRachel @LeahBergen Yes! It is a festive Christmas extravaganza! 🎄💀🎄 2d

I needed something completely different than my usual to read and remembered this one, recommended to me this summer from a friend. This was so disturbing and delightfully creepy! I loved the visual writing. And surprise! It‘s even a Christmas book!!!
