LOVE this video. Thank you for helping me fill up my 2025 TBR 🤩 I’m super excited for: Rebel Witch, Say You’ll Remember Me (anything Abby Jimenez is fireee), and Left of Forever 🥹there’s so many most anticipated but those three are top. Ooh and Onyx Storm haha
Thanks for doing this round up!!! So many new books to keep my eye out for. I think my most anticipated read is the 5th windy city book that’s rios chance to finally find love!! I think it’s called rewind it back 📚
I’ve added a few to my list from this! Thank you ❤ My list is long but most anticipated and looking forward to reading are the next books in a few series: A Monsoon Rising, Archangel’s Ascension, The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk, Kingdom of the Forgotten (hopefully).
I am loving these back-to-back videos! My most anticipated 2025 reads are definitely Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez and Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix!
Rip my TBR after this! My most anticipated reads are Sunrise on the Reaping, new Abby Jimenez & Emily Henry of course. Now I’m interested in The Rose Bargain, Thrill Ride and American Housewife
Many of these are on my list already, but I added a few more after this video. Some books that are on my list is What If I Never Get Over You by Paige Toon, First-Time Caller by B.K Borison and All the Missing Pieces by Catherine Cowles. But so many (hopefully good) books is coming out next year, I'm so excited
My most anticipated releases for 2025 are Onyx Storm (the second book ended on such a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see what happens next), A Perfect Divorce (I wasn't expecting a sequel, but loved the first book), and Caught Up (this will be the perfect audiobook to listen to in the summer)! My TBR is fully loaded for next year :)
added many of these to my tbr! thank you for focusing on highlighting books that other 2025 new release videos may not have talked about, I wasn't super interested in a lot of the most hyped books for next year and I was getting nervous lol
I got you! I felt the same- there's definitely some really popular releases coming out next year and I love that people are talking about them, but I did didn't want to just put out a video with the same new releases as everyone else because that wouldn't really be beneficial to anyone hahaha
SO many books to add to my tbr now, 2025 is a good year for new releases!! Most anticipated release is Onyx Storm - why did Rebecca Yarros have to leave us on such a big cliffhanger?!?
There are many books in the library waiting to be read. If I can finish the book I am currently reading lol , it is going to be a so great reading year 🙃 so.... I hope 😇
I’m really looking forward to Ava Reid’s new book!! I haven’t read anything by her yet, but all of her books sound right up my alley. Adding her entire backlist to my TBR!!
Ahhhhh!! I have a whole personal goal set for 2025 to not worry so much about life and to just slow down and enjoy my favorite cozy hobbies. 🥰 I am super excited for: The Baby Dragon Cafe Immortal Consequences Wooing the Witch Queen What Wakes the Bells Fable for the end of the world And not mentioned... The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst - expected release on July 15, 2025🎉
So far i'm looking forward to the following: One Golden Summer, Rebel Witch and Great Big Beautiful Life. Looking forward to hearing your reviews on the books you read Carter!
My most anticipated release is Abby Jimenez’s new book! I have been hooked since reading Just for the Summer. Special mention to the new Emily Henry book as well because I do agree that they increasingly have been getting better and better
Love, love, love that this didn’t include the same books you hear in every other anticipated release video lol However, I am on the hype train for Onyx Storm and sooo excited for Sunrise on the Reaping as well!
Beg Borrow and Steal is part of a series, not stand alones. From what I've heard you could read it by itself but it will spoil the other books so I would suggest reading them first because the When in Rome series is worth it!!!
my most anticipated releases are bury our bones, our infinite fates by laura stevens, i am made of death by kelly andrew, sunrise on the reaping ofc, the raven boys graphic novel, and the knight & the moth by rachel gillig :')
The Dramione fanfic retellings are what I’m most excited about! I’m still working through Manacled and I haven’t read The Auction yet. But I plan to before I read the traditionally published versions. ❤
Girl same hahaha I've been 70% through Manacled for a year now but it's such a THICCC book to finish🤣 I was doing it on audio but then they took it down and I always struggle to shift from audio to physical book!
I had no idea looking forward to new releases was a thing lol The next 2 books on my tbr were Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding and Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. Off your 2025 I added Somthing in the Walls (sounds creepy) and The Perfect Divorce to my tbr. The good news is I havent heard of either and there is a part 1 to The Perfect Divorce! Im 60% way through The Inmate right now and my plan was to read another 25% tonight and finish it tomorrow buuut now I am going to have to finish it tonight so i can start The Perfect Marriage (part 1) tomorrow!
Love that for you! I always love having new releases to look forward to throughout the year!! Sounds like you have a great reading lineup going on right now
It’s not coming out in May. The author said on his website earlier this month that he is still waiting to get edits back and that it’s expected to be a late 2025 release.
also I agree with struggling to read the fic and then actually reading the trad published version... but I think this is more for any HP fics especially 🤷♀🥲
just got a kindle for christmas and trying to get more into reading this year, so this is super helpful!! I was also obsessed with the doll people books as a kid :) you just unlocked that memory for me haha
Anyone else’s bank account start crying! So excited for these books (esp. the second book in the lights out series)
I've put most of these on hold at the library! Support your local library first and save some money🥰

Hey Carter, Happy Saturday. I enjoyed this video and hearing about new books that will be released in 2025. 😊🥰
SO many books to add to my tbr now, 2025 is a good year for new releases!! Most anticipated release is Onyx Storm - why did Rebecca Yarros have to leave us on such a big cliffhanger?!?
I feel so left out because I didn't read it, and everyone is talking about this giant cliffhanger🤣

There are many books in the library waiting to be read. If I can finish the book I am currently reading lol , it is going to be a so great reading year 🙃 so.... I hope 😇
I’m really looking forward to Ava Reid’s new book!! I haven’t read anything by her yet, but all of her books sound right up my alley. Adding her entire backlist to my TBR!!

Great book series!
So far i'm looking forward to the following: One Golden Summer, Rebel Witch and Great Big Beautiful Life. Looking forward to hearing your reviews on the books you read Carter!

A sea of unspoken things…love Adrianne young!
I'm really excited for that one. It sounds so interesting!

I think this is my sign to finally read Assistant to the Villain!!
Beg Borrow and Steal is part of a series, not stand alones. From what I've heard you could read it by itself but it will spoil the other books so I would suggest reading them first because the When in Rome series is worth it!!!
