Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, and now being hosted by Meeghan reads.
Hello!
I am absolutely loving the topics for Top 5 Tuesday at the moment and I just can’t help but take part as they are helping me narrow down a good TBR pile for 2025.
This year I really want to read different genres from my comfort zone and read as many different authors as possible. Already this month I have read two books from new to me authors and a genre I wouldn’t usually go near and I loved the books!





- William – An Englishman by Cicely Hamilton was a Persephone book I bought just before Christmas. I love the Persephone books as they introduce me to so many authors I haven’t come across before.
- The Princes in the Tower by Philippa Gregory has been sat on my TBR for way too long. I’ve always wanted to read a book by Gregory as I love her documentaries on TV.
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett is another book that has been sat on my TBR for way too long.
- Professor Alice Roberts is another favourite of mine in the documentary department so I think it is time I read one of her books.
- Medea by Rosie Hewlett is a book that I picked up because it is about Medea and I haven’t read a retelling of her story before.
What are 5 new authors you plan to read in 2025?
Happy Reading



For me, I’d quite like to try: Maggie Furey, Carol Berg, Jennifer Fallon, Sara Douglass and Sean Williams. All are on my shelves, so we’ll see if any of them make it this year or are left waiting to be picked up next year.
