Hey guys, this is Abi here!
And I'm here with the last TBR of the year!
How did we get to the last month of 2025, already? It seems only five minutes I was re-reading the HP series, at the top of the year.
But, it's time to set the TBR that'll wrap up the year, with a bang- and that's exactly what I intend to do- by reading whatever the fuck I want.
And that's how it should be.
(This TBR is going to be full of re-reads, by the way.)
1. American Gods (American Gods #1), by Neil Gaiman
So far, the most I've read of this has been from the audiobook, doing RFID on a sunday at 8am. I want to make more of an effort reading the physical book, and whittling through it, little by little. I don't want to put any pressure on myself to read more than I want to, and if that means that it takes an extra week to finish it than it might have, then so be it.
I'm still slightly reeling from Neverwhere, and Richard's story, but I'm really enjoying reading about Shadow, getting to grips with this weird world he's stepped into, by being employed by Mr. Wednesday. He sounds about as overwhelmed as I am, but I'm really enjoying this story and curious as to what's going to happen next. About a quarter in so far.
2. Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer #1), by Laini Taylor
Strange the Dreamer. I don't think I've read a beautiful story before, or since reading this. It's been nearly eight years since I read this, and I'm ready to step into that world again. Does anybody else remember when this book was the shit of booktube? My interest in this was largely to do with Katytastic, who was screaming about this, and Daughter of Smoke and Bone, both by Laini Taylor.
I want re-immerse myself in Lazlo Strange's story, and the lost city of Weep once more. I can't wait to see what I think, nearly eight years on.
3. Twilight (The Twilight Saga #1), by Stephenie Meyer
4. New Moon (The Twilight Saga #2), by Stephenie Meyer
5. Eclipse (The Twilight Saga #3), by Stephenie Meyer
6. Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga #4), by Stephenie Meyer#
So, I'll probably be alone in this, but if you happen to be reading this, and follow my twitter, I'll be doing a poll on there. Which Twilight book is your favourite? (Only including the four above by the way, but feel free to comment if your favourite happens to be Midnight Sun or Life After Death.)
7. Eliza and her Monsters, by Francesca Zappia
We follow Eliza; shy, awkward, an introvert in the outside world, and to everyone except herself and her family. But inside, and online, she becomes LadyConstellation, anonymous creator of the wildly popular webcomic, Monstrous Sea. Then, Wallace Warland, Monstrous Sea's biggest fanfiction writer, transfers to her school, and Eliza begins to learn what life is like outside of her computer. But when Eliza's computer is found- and all her secrets come spilling out, it's the end of her world as we know it. Everything she's built- her story, her relationship with Wallace, even her sanity- begins to fall apart.
This may lead to me re-reading Fangirl sometime soon, because for me, they have a really similar feel. I loved them both to be honest, but right now, this is definitely the book that's screaming READ ME the most. It's been too long since I read this last.
Okay! Those are all the books I want to read this month! Knowing me, it'll probably take me half the month to finish American Gods, and that'll be me screwed. It really doesn't matter to me though, this is a loose TBR after all.
As always, feel free to comment any reading plans/ plans (FNAF or Wicked plans in particular) in the comments below! I always love to hear them.
Okay! I hope you have a wonderful evening, and I'll see you all soon!
Byeeee!
