- Favourite Children's Graphic Novel - I read all three of the Goddess Girls graphic novels, but this is the one that came out on top. Great for fans of mythology, friendship, and adventure!
- Favourite Children's Fiction - A beautiful tale of Death, trust, and betrayal. Gorgeous illustrations that carry you along the journey.
- Favourite Young Adult - Written in a series of text messages between the two main characters this was a great easy read that I devoured in one night.
- Favourite Science Fiction - A reread but always worth it, written in a series of chat forums, camera transcripts and files. This is a great YA sci-fi that explores artificial intelligence and the greater good.
- Favourite Action - Technically a reread and a catch up with the release of the anime I thought I should dig my teeth back into this series. Still just as good as I remember and a moving story filled with action
- Favourite Manga - I started at the year of 2024 but quickly ate up the rest of the series this year, its light, its fun, and the characters continue to evolve together and on their own
- Favourite Romance - So good that I had to go out and buy a copy for my own shelf! Bringing together two of my favourite things, Dungeons & Dragons and romance books. Fun, teenage chaos, and secret relationships, and sibling rivalry.
- Favourite Adult Fiction - I didn't read a lot of adult fiction this year, but Fang Fiction was a fangtastic read! Great for fans of vampires and fan fiction this was so much fun and had me thinking about all the other vampire books I've loved…
