Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag | best and worst books of 2025

Hi, I’m Christi and I read a lot of books! I’m here today with the Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag. I love doing this video every year and wrapping up the first half of the year with the best and worst books I’ve read so far, as well as new to me authors, upcoming releases, and books I still want to read in the year! Let me know if you've read any of these or what books you’ve loved (or haven’t loved) so far this year. Thanks for watching!
