Reading With Tyler

I’m sure a lot of people do this, but my friend Kay at K-Books does a challenge every year where she gets 12 book recommendations from friends and she aims to read all of those books before the year is up! Now, I don’t have that many friends who would even give book recommendations and so I gathered a list of recommended books from friends and then looked at BookTok, BookTube and BookStgram in order to round out my list of 12. The below graphic is in no particular order, however I will follow the same order in the text below in order to link those who have links!

1. A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner – Inspired by @Mariannasreads
2. Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas – Inspired by Andy
3. A Dowry of Blood by S.T Gibson – Inspired by @Ainsleyreads
4. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin – Inspired by Hannah
5. Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones – Inspired by Wendy
6. Belladonna by Adalyn Grace – Inspired by @Bookswithbrayt
7. The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown – Inspired by @KBooks12 (also January Book Club pick)
8. Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole – Inspired by @Thtgrlreads
9. Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider – Inspired by @Emfunnsbooks
10. Red Rising by Pierce Brown – Inspired by Dom
11. Anathema by Keri Lake – Inspired by @Thtgrlreads
12. Dracula by Bram Stoker – Inspired by Rat

I’ll be using the tag 2025 Challenge in order to signify in a review if that book completed a challenge in any of the 4 that I’ve got going on in 2025! So look out for those! And I’ll either come back to this post and update with dates of when things were accomplished or I’ll just post an update midway through the year and then at the end of the year!
