In this episode of Yap Trap, I’m breaking down the best books I read in 2025.From emotionally devastating literary fiction and swoony romance to cosy mysteries, romantasy, and books that surprised me when I least expected it, these reads didn’t just pass the time — they left a mark. I’m talking about books with unforgettable characters, stories that made me feel something, and writing that kept me thinking long after I turned the final page.This is not a hype list. This is not a BookTok echo chamber. This is a deeply personal, slightly analytical, very honest breakdown of the books that earned their spot on my 2025 favourites list.And don’t worry — the worst books of the year absolutely deserve their own conversation… that reckoning is coming in a separate episode.So grab a coffee, your TBR, and let’s talk about the books that truly made 2025 a great reading year.
