    🌟 My 2025 5-Star TBR

    My intention for 2025 is to read fewer books and to read better books. Basically, I *really* want more 5-star reads this year, and I think I have to change up my reading habits to make that happen! So to kick off my year in reading, I've collected 25 books I already own that I think will be 5-star reads for me. I'm calling this MY FIVE-STAR TBR (yes, that's all-caps), and in this episode I'm introducing all 25 books to you and explaining why I think they might be 5-star reads! Tune in to hear the list, or head straight to my bookshop to find them all at your convenience.  More from Amelia:📖 Follow what I'm reading on Storygraph📝 Send me a message📚 Shop my used books
