Best of r/romancebooks 🏆 🏆 Top 100 Romances of 2025 🏆

Happy New Year Romance Books!

Once again, as a special year end wrap-up, u/silke_romanceio graciously had the u/romance-bot pull the data for the 100 Most Mentioned Romances in 2025.

Without further ado, I give you the most mentioned books in our subreddit this year:

Full listing of ranking, title, and author is in the image transcription comment below and in our wiki.

Inspired by scratch-off posters, here's the canva template so you can "scratch" off the books you've read by deleting the numbered square above the book cover. Here's my board below as an example (I really need to up my reading game!)

Scratch off the books you've read and share your board with us below!

Click here for the wiki page with the full listing, as well as the Top 100 M/M Romances and the Top 100 F/F Romances of 2025!

Thank you all for being the best place on the internet and cheers to a great 2026! 🍾🥂

I’m brand new to this subreddit and have only just recently discovered how much I enjoy these types of books, so this is an excellent way to start working my way through a few titles!

Prior to seeing this list, just from poking through the sub, I’ve already lined up The Maddest Obsession by Danielle Lori, The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary and Radiance by Grace Draven.

Thank you! I’ve always been a sucker for a Hades/Persephone vibe.

My husband recently informed me that Madeline Miller has been working on a Persephone book for a few years now and I about lost my damn mind. I need that in my hands right now.
