The biggest and most popular book of 2025 has to be Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. I am a big fan of the Empyrean series and can see why the series has become a fa favorite. When talking about romantasy novels, it is hard not to include Rebecca Yarros.
Seeing The Hunger Games reemerge in the 2020s has been fun to watch. Many readers grew up reading the original series and having more books in this amazing series to read 10 plus years later is a great feeling. And fans have shown that they are still a big fan of this series over a decade later.
Any list of the most popular books annually will definitely include an Emily Henry novel. This year, it is Great Big Beautiful Life and she is one of many romance authors that has made a splash in 2025.
Romance novels are soaring in popularity in 2025 and authors like Taylor Jenkins Reid and Abby Jimenez are leading the charge. In a few years, we will be looking back and seeing how good we had it.
