151 escapes. 151 little lifeboats when my own ocean felt too much. I rated them with my heart, not your rubric. I felt my way through this year. And sometimes a book didn’t move me — and that’s okay. Sometimes it did, and it changed everything. This list is messy, emotional, deeply personal. It’s mine. To every narrator who whispered me through the darkness, and every author who held my hand with words: Thank you. #ReadIn2025 #ImmersiveReader #BookEscapeArtist #EmotionsFirst #MyRatingsMyRules
