Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Here we are at the last Top Ten Tuesday of 2025. Hope you've enjoyed following along with my posts this year. We are discussing the most recent additions to our bookshelves this week, so these titles will likely seem familiar.

I didn't read as many books as planned. However, I still managed to make my Goodreads challenge goal because I had adjusted it earlier in the year. Here were a few of my favorites:
- Jesus Listens by Sarah Young
- 1864: Lincoln at the Gates of History by Charles Bracelen Flood
- Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Down to the Bone by Caitlin Rother
- The Bell Tolls at Traeger Hall by Jamie Jo Wright
