Fun TBR Prompts for 2025


 

It's that time of the year! The books you've accumulated over the holidays shine brightly, and your reading goal is set. Now it's time to find out where to begin. If you're anything like me, indecision runs rampant through your mind. Everything seems too good or not intriguing enough. Picking a prompt from my TBR jar eliminates the stress of making a choice. Here are five exciting prompts to add to your jar that will make your 2025 reading journey the best yet!



Predicted 5-Star Read


What better way to begin your 2025 reading journey than with a book that excites you?! Choose a book based on reviews or your gut feeling after reading the synopsis that you believe will be at the top of your list of favorites. Fingers crossed that it does not let you down! 


Diversification


Jump into new worlds with stories that have characters or are by authors of marginalized communities. Immersing ourselves in the lives of the characters on the pages before us allows us to make connections, empathize with, and respect the experiences of those whose lives differ from our own. Check out this Goodreads list for some ideas!


Adapted For The Screen


Is the book or the movie better? Find out for yourself! Look for a book or series that has been adapted into a film or TV series. One of the nicest aspects of reading is watching the story unfold in our minds with each page. I thoroughly enjoyed comparing my rendition to the one created on screen. What is your favorite adapted novel? Let me know in the comments!


Classics 


Maturing is realizing that you probably shouldn’t have avoided those required readings in school.

Poe, Shelley, Woolf, Austen, Tolstoy… the list goes on and on. As the weather turns cold, sit back with a classic and a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate. 


To Unhaul or Not To Unhaul


We all have one (or a few)! The book that we bought with the full intention of reading it, but it now lies on the shelf, collecting dust while we pile on glittering, new prospects. Pick up the book that has been on your shelf the longest and finally dive in! You may be surprised by what you find!


If you have any more fun TBR prompts, share them in the comments. Happy reading!

The Very Best of Care: An Interview with Author Julie Hatch

  Author Julie Hatch drew inspiration from her decades of experience as a medical professional to write her debut novel, The Very Best of Care . The jaw-dropping thriller plunges readers into the nerve-wracking world of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The story follows one young mother's fight against corrupt physicians and the exploitation of Big Pharma, all while attempting to save her premature newborn son's life. Unapologetic in its look inside the hell that many families face inside the walls of the hospital, Hatch delivers a gripping and emotionally driven narrative that will have you on the edge of your seat. A Good Book To End The Day had the pleasure of interviewing the author ahead of her novel's June 3rd release. Check it out below: Tell us a little about yourself and your journey toward becoming an author. I am a healthcare professional—a retired nurse practitioner and a current acupuncturist. My years of working in neonatal and pediatric intensive care a...

About The Blog!

About A Good Book To End The Day It's always challenging when you can't do something you love. Life gets in the way, and the things you once liked no longer offer you the same satisfaction. That's how the past few years have felt. But, as they say, "New Year, New Me!" And I've put in a lot of work to find what makes me happy. One of the first things I remember that made me happy was sitting with my nose in a book, escaping to fantastical worlds, learning life lessons, solving mysteries, and falling in love with my favorite characters. I've reconnected with reading with enthusiasm and eagerness. It has brought me such joy and I want to share that feeling with everyone. I hope to use this blog as a way to share that passion and maybe even the authors' beautiful stories behind the story. Thanks for joining me! -T 💜 Follow Me: X Goodreads
