2025’s top 5 ARCs 🤩 i read 60+ arcs this year so this was probably one of the hardest lists i’ve had to make 😭 there were so many other books i wanted to list on here (passion project, alchemy of secrets, god and gwisin etc) but for me, it came down to what i kept thinking about frequently. i would love to experience every single one of these books all over again for the first time and i highly recommend them all! 🫶🏼 what were your favorite ARCs this year? books mentioned (not in any order btw): unbound by @peytoncorinneauthor @atriabooks not quite dead yet by @hojay92 @penguinrandomhouse a forbidden alchemy by @staceymcewanbooks @sagapressbooks gloves off by @stephaniearcherauthor @dellromance lucky seed by @justinianhuang @htp_hive
